“…In that study, the climatic zones in Australia (where herbaceous legumes are rare) were compared with those in South and Central America, and species were collected in areas with similar climate and soil characteristics. Later work has shown that a number of morphological and agronomic attributes of the legumes were related to the climate and soil characters, which suggests that the procedure of ecological characterization during collection is likely to be of value (Burt, Pengelly & Williams 1980).…”

“…Our procedures and those of Burt et al (1980) contrast with plant introduction into southern Australia, where agronomic characteristics appropriate to the farming system are defined, and large collections of plants screened to locate the desired characteristics (Crawford 1983).…”

“…On the other hand, the high survival percentage of the annual-biennial S. hamata cv. Verano is not surprising due to its indefinite growth pattern allowing it to behave as an annual (Burt et al, 1980;Oram 1990), as a weak biennial (Burt et al, 1980;Gutteridge, 1985), and sometimes as a short-lived perennial.…”

Survival, herbage yield and nutrient use efficiency of ten tropical forage legumes were compared in pot trials using two soil types (red and yellow kandosols), widespread in Australia’s tropical rangelands, over a period of 22 months. Over this period, plants of Centrosema brasilianum cv. Oolloo, Desmodium virgatus, Macroptilium bracteatum (93.8%), Stylosanthes scabra, S. hamata (87.5%) and D. pubescens (68.8%) survived best. Arachis paraguariensis (37.5%), A. triseminalis, M. martii (25.0%) and C. pascuorum (18.8%) were less successful. The highest herbage yields were consistently produced by C. brasilianum, followed by M. bracteatum and the Stylosanthes cultivars. The annual species, C. pascuorum and M. martii gave high yields in the first 3 9-weekly harvests. The Stylosanthes cultivars produced most root nodules, followed by A. paraguariensis, C pascuorum, C. brasilianum and M. martii. D. pubescens, D. virgatus, M. martii, A. triseminalis and C. brasilianum had the highest nitrogen-use efficiencies, whilst C. brasilianum and the two Stylosanthes cultivars had the highest phosphorus-use efficiencies. All of the legumes increased the nitrogen content of the two soils significantly, especially S. hamata, A. paraguariensis, C. brasilianum, M. martii and M. bracteatum. Most of the legumes show promise for use in low-fertility tropical pastures, particularly C. brasilianum and M. bracteatum.

“…Plant introduction implies a need for genotypes that are well adapted to the climates and soils in which they are to be grown; it is seldom possible to change the environment to suit particular genotypes, nor to screen a wide range of accessions against every factor likely to influence their successful establishment (Burt et al, 1980). This paper is the first in a series in which we will describe a role for research in a range of controlled environment facilities, as an adjunct to research in the field, to better ensure the ultimate release of genotypes well adapted to the environments for which they are intended.…”

Our experience with potentially tropic-adapted grain legumes leads us to hypothesize that 'with appropriate and sufficiently proven technology, developed specifically for the purpose, controlled environment facilities can be a powerful adjunct to field research and so assist in the attainment of crop improvement objectives in lentils'. This contribution comments on the 'adaptation' of grain legume crops to their environments, describes current lentil production in the USA and elsewhere, and discusses the tenets and objectives of a programme of research devoted to the ultimate release of lentil genotypes that are well adapted to the environments for which they are intended.
