Resumen
Descripción
Forage peanut (Arachis pintoi Krapov. and W.C. Greg.), a forage legume native to Brazil, is widely used as a green cover crop in several countries. Its benefits include soil moisture retention, nutrient cycling, biological nitrogen fixation, recovery of degraded areas, and erosion prevention. Its usage in pastures intercropped with grasses has increased daily weight gain by up to 50% and reduced cattle slaughter time by up to 9 months. However, its adoption is limited by the high costs of seed production, low establishment, decreased yields in dry seasons, and susceptibility to viral diseases. The lack of molecular tools to support cultivar development has been listed as one of the bottlenecks of breeding programs.
