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
A virus with filamentous particles approximately 750 nm long was isolated from African oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) with `chlorotic ring' leaf symptoms in south-western Colombia. The virus was mechanically transmitted from oil palm to brachiaria, maize, sorghum, and sugarcane (Gramineae) but not ...

Partial characterization of a potyvirus infecting African oil palm in South America
A filamentous virus approximately 775 nm long was isolated from variegated plants of the tropical forage grass Brachiaria spp. collected in Colombia and Brazil, South America. Ultrathin sections of symptomatic leaf tissue showed cylindrical inclusions (scrolls) in the cytoplasm of infected cells....
