International Center for Tropical Agriculture[Research and distribution of B. humidicola and Tetraploid B. ruziziensis X various accesions of B. decumbens or B. brizantha]Research and distribution of B. humidicola and Tetraploid B. ruziziensis X various accesions of B. decumbens or B. brizantha

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...

Production of livestock and dairy products in Sub-Saharan Africa struggles to keep pace with growing demand. The potential exists to close this gap in a climate-friendly way through the introduction of improved forage varieties of the Brachiaria genus. We assess the potential economic impact of t...

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, ...
