Evaluation of natural Stylosanthes germplasm leading to the release of 8 commercial cultivars began in South America in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Perceived deficiencies in existing germplasm, including anthracnose susceptibility, led to the initiation of Stylosanthes breeding projects as ea...

Spittlebugs (Homoptera: Cercopidae) are important pests of forage grasses in the genus Brachiaria (Trin.) Griseb. throughout the neotropics. Results of recurrent selection on resistance to spittlebugs in a synthetic brachiariagrass population are reported. The population was synthesized by recomb...

This study developed a fast and reliable method of inoculating Brachiaria, a genus of tropical forage grasses, with Rhizoctonia solani, the causal agent of foliar blight disease. Using this method, 42 Brachiaria accessions were inoculated in both field and glasshouse, and their reactions to R. so...

We summarize progress made towards the development of tools and knowledge that aid the genetic improvement of aluminum (Al) resistance in two of CIAT’s (International Center for Tropical Agriculture) commodity crops; common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) and brachiariagrasses (Brachiaria spp. Grisi...

Nymphs and adults of several spittlebug (Hemiptera: Cercopidae) species are key pests of forage brachiariagrasses (Brachiaria spp.) in tropical America. To support current breeding programs, a series of experiments aimed at characterizing the mechanisms of resistance to adult feeding damage were ...

Rhizoctonia foliar blight, caused by Rhizoctonia solani anastomosis group 1, is an economically important fungal disease found throughout the world. The fungus attacks numerous crops, including cereals, roots and tubers, legumes, and cruciferous, horticultural, and ornamental plants. In tropical ...
