Brachiaria decumbens en el Caquetá: adopción y uso en ganadería de doble propósito

Journal Articles & Books
Décembre, 1990
Colombie

By focusing on the free use and dissemination of Brachiaria decumbens in dual-purpose farms in Caquetá, Colombia, it was hoped to generate and disseminate other pasture germplasm. The existing technology, using B. decumbens, has certain restrictions that must be overcome with appropriate research and development activities. The document analyzes the role of improved-pasture technology in regional development, and gives a general description of Caquetá`s piedmont ecosystem. The characteristics of the dual-purpose system and implications of research results are also discussed.
