A series of feeding trials with sheep were carried out at the Centro Internacional de Agricultura Tropical in Colombia to assess the effect of wilting and drying on intake rate and acceptability of the shrub legume Cratylia argentea (Desvaux) O. Kuntze. In the first 2 experiments, intake rate was...

Growth and mineral uptake of twenty-four tropical forage legumes and grasses were compared under glasshouse conditions in a sterile low P oxisol, one part inoculated and the other not inoculated with mycorrhizal fungi. Shoot and root dry weights and total uptake of P, N, K, Ca, and Mg of all the ...

Desmodium wart, caused by Synchytrium desmodii, severely reduced soil seed reserves, seedling survival, and recruitment of adult plants of Desmodium ovalifolium ‘CIAT 350’ to the pasture sward from 1985 to 1988 at Carimagua in the eastern plains of Colombia. Under nonflooded conditions, wart did ...

A polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis procedure was developed for discriminating cultivars of the forage legume Pueraria phaseoloides on the basis of the patterns of cotyledon proteins. The genotypic marker proteins were extracted with 5M acetic acid and electrophoresed at pH 3.1 in aluminum lacta...

Adaptation of Centrosema to an acid Ultisol (pH 4.1, 89% Al saturation), was assessed using a collection of 133 accessions representing 12 species, in a preliminary evaluation trial conducted at Santander de Quilichao, Colombia. On the basis of vigour ratings over a period of 21 months, the teste...
During field screening from 1978 to 1981 of 121 accessions of the tropical pasture legume Stylosanthes capitata at two sites in Colombia and at Planaltina in Brazil, 94.2% of the accessions were resistant to anthracnose (caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides) in Colombia while 85.1% were susce...

In tropical savannas where soils are generally sandy and nutrient poor, organic farming associated with enhanced soil biological activity may result in increased nutrient availability. Therefore, legumes have been introduced in the humid savanna zone of Côte d’Ivoire, owing to their ability to fi...
