Describes the characteristics of networks and discusses their advantages. Presents the organisation and objectives of several forage networks. Examines the Forage Network in Ethiopia and the Pasture Network for Eastern and Southern Africa.
Discusses the possibilities and limitations of applying Australian scientific knowledge and experience to Africn pastoral production systems, i.e., of transfering technology between areas with similar natural conditions but different prduction systems. Assesses production system and major constra...

Adapting tropical pasture research to the production system: From Australian ranching to African pastoralism
Recent discoveries that high prolificacy in sheep carrying the Booroola gene (FecB) is the result of a mutation in the BMPIB receptor and high prolificacy in Inverdale sheep (FecXI) is the result of a mutation in the BMP15 oocyte-derived growth factor gene have allowed direct marker tests to be d...

Climate change science has been discussed and synthesized by the world's best minds at unprecedented scales. Now that the Kyoto Protocol may become a reality, it is time to be realistic about the likelihood of success of mitigation activities. Pastoral lands in the tropics hold tremendous sequest...

An experiment is described in which 27 accessions of Stylosanthes, comprising some seven species, were grown for 3 years in small swards at eight different sites covering a wide range of environments. The accessions used were selected on the basis of previous studies, so as to represent a wide ra...
Phosphorus (P) is an essential nutrient but is commonly limiting for food production in tropical
and subtropical maize cropping. The efficiency of P fertiliser uptake is often low (5–30%) for various
site-specific reasons and so identifying the drivers of P efficiency for different systems is imp...
