Tropical forages identification tool: A new companion for tropical forages selection tool
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/126237
Abstract
There has been a recent explosion in the development of image recognition technology and its application to automated plant identification, so it is timely to consider its potential for the identification of tropical forages in the field. On many occasions, producers and researchers alike confuse forages with each other. This generates confusion, poor use and management of the forage resource, which…

Report on marker-assisted selection to identify reproductive behavior in Bh22 population
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/126303
Abstract
Continuing with the fourth cycle of humidicola breeding scheme (Urochloa humidicola (Rendle) Morrone & Zuloaga), a half-sibs population was formed through a genetic cross between suexual population BhSx19 and the apomictic tester CIAT/16888. Using standardized protocols, the identification of the reproduction mode was carried out in the population of hybrids obtained (called Bh22) using the…
