This document discusses the agronomic evaluation and potential use of several Macroptilium spp. accessions. It provides data on the green leaf retention during the dry season and pure seed yield in kg/ha for four accessions, with accession 3522 showing 85% green leaf retention and the highest pure seed yield of 850 kg/ha. The document also mentions that agricultural systems are increasingly using grass-legume associations for easy establishment and turnover.
