Brachiaria species occupy about 300,000 hectares in Asia, the South Pacific, and Australia. In Asia and the South Pacific, they are the most widely grown pasture grasses in the humid and subhumid tropics; in Australia, the area to which they are adapted is relatively small, but within it, Brachia...

Regional experience with Brachiaria: Asia, the South Pacific, and Australia
In tropical Africa, the most common and most extensively evaluated Brachiaria species as cultivated pastures are B. brizantha, B. ruziziensis, B. decumbens, and B. mutica. In recent years, B. dictyoneura cv. Llanero, B. humidicola, and B. platynota have also received increased attention. The firs...

Evaluation under grazing is an important stage in the evaluation of pasture germplasm for the selection of potential new cultivars. Entry to this stage of evaluation presupposes an already existing adaptation to the climatic and edaphic conditions of the relevant area or areas, high yield, resist...

Evaluation under grazing of pasture germplasm in advanced stages of selection
Three steps in forage germplasm evaluation, leading to the identification of superior cultivars, are discussed. Emphasis is given to the use of the grazing animal to defoliate the collection of accessions, beginning in the introduction nursery to provide preliminary information on acceptability a...

Evaluation pasture germplasm under different grazing management systems
Grassland improvement work, particularly in the early stages of developing a program for tropical regions, involves a comparison of new accessions selected from wild populations whose potential as cultivated forages is often unknown.
Pasture species evaluation strategies employed at CIAT's main s...
