Evaluation of five shrubby legumes in comparison with Centrosema acutifolium, Carimagua, Colombia
The seed yields and limitations to yield for nine pasture legumes in a tropical savanna region were defined in a 3-year field experiment at the Cerrodos Agricultural Research Centre near Brasilia (15°36' S, 47° 42' W). Assessment was based on flowering times, incidence of diseases and pests, yiel...
