Importance of Arachis pintoi for animal production in the tropics: great potential and current limitations in Brazil.

Arachis pintoi is the most suitable forage legume for use in mixed pastures in the humid tropics and subtropics. It sounds perfect, since we have: biological nitrogen fixation, good acceptability, productivity increase, tolerance to shadowing and trampling, pasture longevity increase, stable association with several grasses. Thus, it answers very well the current demands for sustainability and intensification of livestock based on pastures.
