Diversity of Rhizoctonia spp. causing Foliar Blight on Brachiaria in Colombia and Evaluation of Brachiaria Genotypes for Foliar Blight Resistance by Álvarez, E., Latorre, M., Bonilla, Ximena P., Miles, John W., Sotelo, G.

“…Ten Brachiaria genotypes were challenged with different Rhizoctonia isolates and resistant reactions were seen in three of these genotypes, including Brachiaria hybrid (International Center for Tropical Agriculture [CIAT] 36062), Brachiaria brizantha ‘Marandú’ (CIAT 6294), and Brachiaria hybrid ‘Mulato II’ (CIAT 36087). These results will contribute to a greater understanding of the interaction of diverse Rhizoctonia isolates on different Brachiaria genotypes, supporting improvement of Brachiaria spp. for disease resistance.…”

Producción de forraje y calidad de los pastos

“…Para las mediciones de disponibilidad de forraje en los pastos Angleton, Colosuana y Mulato II, se utilizaron marcos de 0,5 × 0,5 m (0,25 m2), y en Mombasa, un marco de 1 m2 (1 × 1 m), debido a que esta presenta hábito de crecimiento erecto y crece en macollas (figura 10); las mediciones se realizaron periódicamente durante el periodo de ceba (lluvia y sequía), siguiendo la técnica descrita por Franco et al. (2006).…”

Economic benefits of different silvo-pastoral systems in Colombia by Burkart, Stefan, Sandoval, Danny, Flórez, Jesús Fernando, Enciso-Valencia, Karen, Triana Ángel, Natalia

“…Over the last decades, high amounts of research and development funds have been allocated to improve forage germplasm leading to the release of different forage cultivars and hybrids (e.g., Urochloa hybrid cvs. Mulato, Mulato II, Cayman, Cobra). According to agronomic evaluations, those cultivars are superior in terms of forage quality, forage availability, and adaptation to different soil and climatic conditions, and provide numerous environmental benefits – even more so when integrated in silvo-pastoral systems (SPS) with shrub and tree legume species. …”

Ex ante impact and trade-off assessment of improved forage use in western Kenya by Caulfield, Mark E., Paul, Birthe K.

“…Using data from a survey of 198 rural households in four counties in western Kenya, and on-farm forage and milk production trials, we assessed the use of two improved forage grasses, a Panicum maximum hybrid (Maasai) and a Brachiaria hybrid (Mulato II), under six different scenarios. We found that the replacement of Napier grass with Maasai forage by households that already produce cow milk has the potential to increase farm income by 10%. …”

Differences in arbuscular mycorrhizal colonization and P acquisition between genotypes of the tropical Brachiaria grasses: is there a relation with BNI activity? by Teutscherova, Nikola, Vázquez, Eduardo, Arévalo, Ashly, Pulleman, Mirjam Margreet, Rao, Idupulapati M., Arango, Jacobo

“…Despite the relatively high soil P status, high affinity of Brachiaria grasses for AMF was observed at the study site: more than 60% of root length was colonized by AMF in high-BNI genotypes, versus 45% in low-BNI Brachiaria cv. Mulato. The N content of high-BNI genotypes was positively correlated with mycorrhizal root colonization suggesting the uptake of NH4+ by AMF and its transfer to high-BNI genotypes and/or regulation of AMF colonization by P demand. …”
