Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation The review reports that Brachiaria has advantages over other grass species in adaptation to drought and low fertility soils.
- Observation The review reports that Brachiaria has the ability to sequester carbon.
- Mechanism The review reports that Brachiaria increases nitrogen use efficiency through biological nitrification inhibition (BNI).
- Observation The review reports that Brachiaria arrests greenhouse gas emissions.
- Observation Limited reports showed that cut-and-carry is the utilization practice for Brachiaria grown in push-pull integration.
- Observation The review concludes that Brachiaria cultivars could contribute significantly to animal and cereal production in the tropics but research and utilization in Ethiopia are limited.
