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...
