Offered Papers Theme A: Efficient Production from Grassland
Description
Lack of legume persistence is one of the main reasons for poor utilisation of grass-legume pastures in the tropics. Arachis pintoi (forage peanut) is currently the most promising forage legume for the humid tropics, mainly because of good persistence under grazing (Grof, 1985; Fisher & Cruz, 1995). The objective of this work was to show how two accessions of A. pintoi react to increasing herbage allowance levels when associated with two different grasses.
