Safe transfer of forage grass germplasm

Contributors to this page: CIAT, Colombia (Maritza Cuervo, Cesar Medina, Jose Luis Ramirez, Socorro Balcazar, Josefina Martinez, Daniel Debouck); ILRI, Ethiopia (Jean Hanson, Janice Proud, Juvy Cantrell).

Forage grasses under the custody of the CGIAR include a very large group of species. In CIAT, forage grasses are part of what the center commonly refers to as Tropical Pastures although some of these species also grow in more temperate environments. CIAT list of tropical pastures also includes legume species. In ILRI the forages grasses are listed separately from the forage legumes, incorporating tropical and temperate species.

This page includes sections on:

• Import and export requirements.
• Technical guidelines for the safe movement of germplasm and detection of relevant pathogens and pests.
• Best practices in place at CIAT and ILRI.
