This paper does not present an exhaustive review of the properties of acid soils. Rather, emphasis is placed on three topics, viz. soil pH, exchange properties, and sulfate sorption, with bias towards the author’s experience with soils from the world humid tropical region. The discussion on pH an...

Many virus diseases of plants and probably all diseases caused by mycoplasma-like organisms (MLOs) are transmitted by insect vectors. In this review the vector insect groups of viruses and MLOs on tropical food legumes are discussed. An overview is given quoting examples of the relations between ...

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...
