This paper reviews published and unpublished information on the physiological and agronomic characteristics associated with the widespread adaptation of Brachiaria species. Adaptation to shade, drought, flooding, rainfall, and defoliation are discussed. Strong regrowth under frequent defoliation ...
Brachiaria grasses, especially R decumbens cv. Basilisk (signalgrass), are the most widely grown pastures in subhumid and humid tropics. When fertilized with nitrogen and well managed, these pastures have high forage quality (measured as digestibility). Animal production is therefore high and rel...

Nutritional quality and animal production of Brachiaria pastures
engAdvanced biotechniques offer the potential for greater precision and efficiency in genetic manipulation of crop species. Applications of molecular markers in Brachiaria include assessment of genetic variation, gene tagging, and genetic mapping. In particular, recent applications of molecular-m...

Applications of biotechnology to Brachiaria
Brachiaria species have become important components of sown pastures in the humid lowlands of tropical America. This ecosystem occupies about 50 of Brazil; 60 of the area encompassed by Bolivia, Peru, and Ecuador; 14 of Mexico; and significant areas in other countries of the region. The cultivars...
