Description
The need for legume based pastures for the acid soils of the lowland tropics is a research priority, but only limited success has been achieved, especially in Latin America. This paper records a dynamic thrust by a multidisciplinary research team, the Tropical Pastures Program (TPP), to provide the first grass/legume association for pasture development in well-drained savannas of eastern Colombia.
