| Popis: | Droughts are an ever-present threat to tropical crops and pastures. One of the most difficult features of managing pastures in arid and semi-arid regions has therefore been the variability in production from year to year. An understanding of the survival mechanisms of tropical pasture plants and the factors controlling grass/legume interrelations is a prerequisite to the establishment of secure bases for management recommendations. These aspects and management strategies were discussed. For increased agricultural productivity in order to avert famine, and efficient resource use in drought-prone regions, pasture agronomists should pay attention to the characters most needing improvement in the suite of available tropical grasses and legumes that were discussed. |
