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...

Developing methods to evaluate phenotypic variability in Biological Nitrification Inhibition (BNI) capacity of Brachiaria grasses
Poor drainage is found on about 11.3% of agricultural land in Latin America where physiography promotes flooding, high groundwater tables, or stagnant surface water (waterlogging). Waterlogging drastically reduces oxygen diffusion into the soil causing hypoxia which is the main limitation that re...

Advances in improving tolerance to waterlogging in Brachiaria grasses
Several species and genera of spittlebugs (Homoptera: Cercopidae) are economic pests of grasses in tropical America. They have the potential to cause serious losses on millions of hectares of improved pastures based on cultivars of several species of Brachiaria. Most of the available commercial c...

Research aimed at developing various Stylosanthes species as forage crops in South America began with the collection of Brazilian germplasm in the 1960s. These efforts have intensified greatly in the past 25 years with the participation of a number of local, national and international institution...
