The main insect pests and diseases associated with Brachiaria pastures are considered, with emphasis on spittlebugs, the most damaging pests in tropical America. Outbreaks of the polyphagous burrowing bugs of the genus Scaptocoris, both in Brazil and Colombia, are of concern. Other pests discusse...

Pests and diseases of Brachiaria species
The pan-tropical grass genus Brachiaria comprises about 100 species, several of which are forages of economic importance, particularly in tropical America. Acremonium implicatum is a fungus that forms an endophytic association with at least some of these economically important grasses. To ascerta...

Acremonium implicatum, a seed-transmitted endophytic fungus in Brachiaria grasses
Selected lines of Stylosanthes guianensis, S scabra, S. capitata and S. macrocephala were established at field sites at Planaltina and Campo Grande in Brazil and at Carimagua and Caquetá in Colombia. Weather conditions at each site were monitored continuously using an automatic weather station. D...

The genus Stylosanthes Sw. has provided ample germplasm for a wide variety of agroecological situations in the tropics. The most important attributes of successful Stylosanthes cultivars used as pasture or ley in the tropics are resistance to diseases, high seed yield and adaptation to poor soils...
