Brachiaria species are widely sown on the infertile and Al-toxic soils of neotropical savannas. Breeding programs seek to combine edaphic adaptation with other traits in interspecific hybrids. Edaphic adaptation is difficult to assess because it is only manifest in pasture persistence across seve...

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...

This study was planned to analyse the basis that make Brachiaria species with greater feeding value than Napier grass (Pennisetum purpureum) for lactating dairy cows. Forty lactating crossbred cows were stall-fed on B. brizantha cv. Piatá or Napier grass cv. French Cameroon supplemented (mixed on...

The apomictic reproductive mode of Brachiaria (syn. Urochloa) forage species allows breeders to faithfully propagate heterozygous genotypes through seed over multiple generations. In Brachiaria, reproductive mode segregates as single dominant locus, the apospory-specific genomic region (ASGR). Th...

In a field experiment in Palmira, Colombia, we studied mycorrhizal root colonization, phosphomonoesterase activities and P and N foliar content before and after N fertilization among different Brachiaria genotypes with demonstrated biological nitrification inhibition (BNI) capacity. Furthermore, ...
