Abstract

With the purpose of evaluating forage yields of Centrosema accessions, which had been previously selected by CIAT to low fertility soils, an experiment was conducted at EMBRAPA-CPPSE, São Carlos,SP, on a Red-Yellow Latossol, using a randomized block design with four replicátions, and 23 accessions of C.pubescens (two controls) and 6 of C.acutifolium (two controls). Average dry matter yield of six harvests ranged from 1240 to 2960 kg/ha and the best yielding accessions were C.pubescens: BRA 16918 and BRA 16985, and C.acutifolium: BRA 9211 and BRA 9229.
