A wide variety of plants can be used as pasture and forage crops in the tropics.  Of these, a few are particularly important due to their wide adaptability, ease of growth, high yield potential, and high nutritional value. Most of these are either grasses or legumes. The majority of the grasses herein are highly suitable for permanent pastures, although a few are usually cut and carried to the animals. Unfortunately, there are few legume and grass combinations that are compatible in pastures of the tropics; however, we do have several legumes suitable for mixed pastures and are eager to hear how they grow in various areas. An ECHO Technical Note on Forages is available.

  6. 在热带地区,各种各样的植物都可以用作牧草和饲料作物。其中,少数品种因其适应性广、易生长、高产潜力大、营养价值高而尤为重要。其中大部分不是禾本科植物就是豆科植物。本文中的大多数禾本科植物都非常适合永久性牧场,尽管通常会将其中的一些割下并运给动物。遗憾的是,很少有豆科植物和禾本科植物的组合能与热带的牧场相适应;然而,我们确实有几种豆科植物适合混合牧场,并渴望了解它们在不同地区的生长情况。这里有关于“饲料”的ECHO技术说明。Forages
