The document discusses three Centrosema species - C. acutifolium, C. brasilianum, and C. tetragonolobum - providing their dry matter yield, seed yield, and in vitro dry matter digestibility. It notes that C. brasilianum has a high incidence of diseases like mycoplasma and leaf spot, and suffers from low seed yield, suggesting it be evaluated further at a regional level in association with grasses and at higher fertility levels.
