This website provides current information on the
Texas AgriLife Research Forage Legume
Breeding Program, including new cultivars, management
recommendations and research projects in progress. Information found
here and in related links will assist you in planning the use of
forage legumes in pasture production systems for Texas and the
US
southern region. |

Cooperative Research Partners |
|
Developing improved
cultivars of forage legumes for Texas requires evaluation and
selection in diverse environments and input from many scientific
disciplines. Each new cultivar depends on a team of research
partners to advance from breeding lines to experimental cultivars to
seed production to multi-location testing to cultivar release.

Rio Verde |
|
The forage legume breeding program focuses on development of new
cultivars with superior traits, including: pest resistance; high
yield; improved seed production; high hard-seed percentage and
reliable reseeding; reduction of
anti-quality compounds; and adaptation to Texas soil and
climate conditions.
