Stylo In China: A Tropical Forage Legume Success Story, Guodao Liu, S. Chakraborty
IGC Proceedings (1997-2023)
Although Stylosanthes gracilis was the first stylo to be introduced as a green manure cover crop for young rubber plantations in 1961, the S. guianensis cultivars Cook and Graham introduced in the 1970s and 1980s were largely responsible for the stylo revolution in China. Before serious anthracnose outbreaks, these cultivars covered over 13,000 ha in southern China. Anthracnose had shifted emphasis to S. guianensis CIAT184 and successful cultivars originate from this introduction (Guodao et al., 2004). Well-adapted varieties are now available for much of southern China and in 2003, the total area of stylo exceeded 200,000 ha. Stylo development …

Stylo In India: Much More Than A Plant For The Revegetation Of Wasteland, C. R. Ramesh, S. Chakraborty, P. S. Pathak, Nagaratna Biradar, P. Bhat

Since the 1950s introductions of Stylosanthes scabra, S. hamata and S. guianensis from Australia, South America, the USA and Africa have continued in India. Although no cultivar has been released, selections of S. scabra, S guianensis and S. hamata are used in a range of environmental and commercial production systems. A large seed industry spanning >400 ha and run by >600 smallholder farmers producing 800t seeds/ year supports this usage (Rao et al., 2004). Stylo is mainly used in India for revegetation of wastelands where it reduces soil erosion and offers fodder for livestock (Pathak et al …

Utilisation Of Photosynthetic Active Radiation By Grasslands In Time And In Space, V. V. Kolomeychenko
IGC Proceedings (1997-2023)
Natural grasslands occupy about 3b ha worldwide This is twice the area of arable lands (McCloud, 1974), making it particularly important to understand the energetic relationships of grasslands. This paper contributes to such an understanding for the steppe and forest-steppe zones of Russia.
