Most commercial Brachiaria species are adapted to low-fertility acid soils of the tropics. We describe, with examples, some of the attributes that enable them to adapt. These include the ability to (1) maintain root growth at the expense of shoot growth; (2) acquire and use both nitrate and ammon...

Nutritional requirements of Brachiaria and adaptation to acid soils
This paper reviews published and unpublished information on the physiological and agronomic characteristics associated with the widespread adaptation of Brachiaria species. Adaptation to shade, drought, flooding, rainfall, and defoliation are discussed. Strong regrowth under frequent defoliation ...
