This integrated collection describes the importance of forage
legumes for pasture development and improvement in the tropics and
subtropics. Leading agronomists review the magnitude of the need
for pasture improvement; tropical and subtropical soil and climate
environments; reports of the successful use of legumes in pasture
development in a wet and a dry tropical environment; and the scope
of the problem in terms of area to be developed and development
logistics required. Three legume genera, Centrosema, Desmodium, and
Stylosanthes, are discussed in detail--information is presented on
taxonomy, adaptation, distribution, productivity, and
usefulness--and considerable emphasis is placed on Rhizobium
germplasm resources for these genera. A concluding section of
technical essays addresses special considerations in using tropical
legumes in pasture development and presents a coordinated
multidisciplinary approach to legume exploration and evaluation.
