Forage grasses may be combined into functional groups (e.g. contrasting growth and perennation strategies) in such a way that when cultivated in associations they can result in reduced intra-annual variation in herbage production and maximize production potential of the system. In addition, the association can also favor plant biodiversity and augment the environmental services provided b…
The utilization of pastures is known as an important piece of Brazilian animal production systems. However, the low efficiency of grazing management places Brazil as a great contributor of greenhouse gas emissions and climate change. Production of high quality forage, through increased soluble carbohydrate levels or digestibility, is considered an alternative to reduce emissions of enteri…
The plant morphological development comprises a sequence of interactive events within and between interconnected phytomers, which defines its morphogenetic characteristics. As a consequence, the stem elongation process is probably integrated with other features of plant growth and development. In order to identify morphological markers (number of accumulated phytomers in the plant - Lk - …
This proposal aims at obtaining funds to bring Dr Gilles Lemaire, from Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique (INRA), Lusignan, France, to Brazil as a visiting researcher for a period of collaborative work and discussions. Dr Lemaire is a well known leading international scientist with expertise in forage plants morphogenesis and pasture agronomy. Since 1996 the pastoral group from…

Forage grass species may be organized into groups of similar functionality (e.g. plants that compete or preserve resources) which provide opportunity for species association in mix pastures that could show greater herbage production with lesser intra-annual variation, contributing for biodiversity and resilience of the pastoral system. For tropical perennial grasses, information regarding…

The association of forage grasses of contrasting and complementary functional groups may be an interesting alternative to decrease intra-annual variations in herbage production as well as contributing to the biodiversity and multifunctionality of pastoral ecosystems. However, the existing knowledge and information is mostly related to temperate forage grasses or grass x legume association…

Research from temperate climate regions of the globe indicate that mixed pastures of forage species with complementary growth and development strategies have the potential to provide greater offer of ecosystem services than single-species pastures. In the tropics, there is a wide diversity of forage species with several possibilities of combination in different biomes, which could provide…
