Description
This study illustrates the value of acquiring, evaluating and making available wild legume germplasm for evaluation in different production systems. A tropical legume selected for use as a pasture legume in South America proved to have greater value as a component in feed meal in intensive production systems in China, where it can return USD 1,400 per hectare, than as a pasture plant.
