Tropical Forage Legumes
Harnessing the Potential of Desmanthus and Other Genera for Heavy Clay Soils

This book includes a detailed analysis of the forage germplasm available which is adapted to heavy clay soils and describes materials collected from sites in the Caribbean, South, Central and North America. It covers successful native and exotic forage legume species that have potential for Belizean soils, and the adaptation of a wide range of forages on Australian clay soils. This book provides an invaluable example of how a global search for adapted and productive forage germplasm can be undertaken and, covering over four decades of research, acts as a key resource for new scientists in the field.
