Forage seed production. Vol. 2. Tropical and subtropical species
The grasses and legumes grown in pastures and rangelands form the basis of the world-wide animal production industry. These species are also a significant part of the multi-billion dollar sport and leisure industry through their use in playing surfaces such as golf courses. It is therefore vitally important to ensure that appropriate species, and mixtures of species are developed for use on a commercial scale. This book and its sister volume Forage Seed Production Volume 1: Temperate Species, must be read by all seed scientists involved in the breeding and commercial production of grass and legume seed.
Published in association with the International Herbage Seed Production Research Group Written by leading specialists in the area of forage seed production.
