Abstract: The tropical grass genus Urochloa is widespread in Africa and its value as a component of natural pastures was recognized by the botanist Stapf, writing as long ago as 1920. ln the early 1930's, agriculturalists indicated the potential of species of Urochloa as sown pasture grasses. Seed of somespecies, especially U. mosambicensis, U. pullulans and U. bolbodes, was introduced to other countries, notably lndia, Australia and Hawaii, but for the most part these grasses were described only as 'promising' or 'potentially useful' and they did not come into wide use. Some plantings were carried out on experiment stations and they were also recommended as useful for reclaiming eroded areas, but on the whole most pasture research in the dry tropics appeared to be limited to studying the management of the native grassland rather than to investigating the potentialities of exotic species for use in sown swards. The discovery that there were pasture legumes adapted to the dry tropics was a major step forward in the research on pasture improvement in these less productive areas. lndeed, this change of emphasis has revived interest in grasses which could be used in the new pasture improvement programmes and Urochloa is a genus which has captured the attention of a number of workers in this field. |
