Popis: SUMMARYThe forage potential of Andropogon gayanus (gamba grass) was assessed in cutting experiments on a low fertility, acid Ultisol in Colombia. This grass recently introduced from Africa outyielded Hyparrhenia rufa, Panicum maximum, Brachiaria decumbens and Digitaria decumbena in various mixtures made up of a single grass and a single legume. A. gayanua performed well as a companion grass with the legumes Styloaanthes guianensis, Stylosanthes capitata and Centroaema sp., while B. decumbena suppressed the legumes planted in these trials during the 2nd year following establishment.
