Inoculum of the VA mycorrhizal fungusGlomus manihotis was added to an Oxisol containing only a moderate inoculum potential of indigenous VA mycorrhizal fungi. Its effect on growth and P uptake of two pasture plant species was investigated in pot experiments. This effect was studied at a range of ...

Established swards of the tropical forage grass Andropogon gayanus var. bis-quamulatus (Hochst.) Hack were heavily colonized by the leaf-cutter Acromyrmex landolti Forel over a period of 33 months in the eastern plains of Colombia. Density of Ac. landolti colonies in swards of A. gayanus increase...

The yield attributes of 18 accessions of Centrosema, comprising the species, C. macrocarpum, C. brasilianum, Centrosema sp. nov. were compared in two experiments under a cutting regime. Small, grazed swards of various Centrosema spp. sown with Andropogon gayanus in mixture were also studied, with...

The possible use of tropical forage legumes in pastures based on Brachiaria decumbens and Andropogon gayanus pastures was tested on farms in the humid tropics region of Pucallpa, Perú. The pastures were established by farmers using manual labour. They were associated with maize in some cases and ...

A survey of three regions of Colombia revealed a total of 31 species of plant-parasitic nematodes associated with tropical pasture legumes and grasses. Seventeen of these nematode species had not been recorded previously in Colombia. There also are 120 newly reported associations of plant-parasit...
Phosphorus (P) deficiency increased the secretion of phytases from roots of various plant species. The secretory phytases were collected with a dialysis membrane tube for 24 hours from roots of sixteen plant species grown with low or adequate supply of P in nutrient solutions. The activity of not...

The seed yields and limitations to seed production for four tropical grass cultivars were defined via a replicated field experiment conducted over three years at the Cerrados Agricultural Research Centre near Brasilia (latitude 15° 36' S; longitude 47° 42' W) in a tropical savanna region. The fou...
