H. B. aBiological nitrogen fixation in the tropical forage legume Stylo. c2010 ap. 346 aThe forage legume Stylosanthes spp. is an excellent forage legume alternative for tropical areas because of its adaptation to acidic, low fertility soils, and, especially, because of its biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) potential. We compared dry mass production, total N content, and BNF of 4 field grown advanced genotypes of both S. capitata and S. guianensis taken from a breeding program being conducted at Embrapa Beef Cattle, in Brazil, with the objective of selecting materials that represent increased BNF potential through symbiosis with native soil N-fixing bacteria. aStylosanthes aLeguminosa Forrageira aPastagem aFixação biológica de nitrogênio1 aVERZIGNASSI, J.
