Brachiaria brizantha CIAT 26110: Cultivar Toledo Pedro Argel 1, Jesús Gonzalez 2, and Marco Lobo 3 CIAT, Colombia (1), and ECAG (2) and MAG (3), Costa Rica In October 2000, the Costa Rican Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Production (MAG, its Spanish acronym) released for farmers´ use the new cultivar Toledo (Brachiaria brizantha CIAT 26110). This material was officially released during a field day in which 250 farmers, professionals, and seed producers of the region participated. Research that led to the development of this new cultivar began in 1988 with the introduction of experimental seed from the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT) in Colombia. Research was coordinated by the Tropileche Consortium in Costa Rica, with the participation of MAG, the Escuela Centroamericana de Ganadería (ECAG), the Tropical Center for Agricultural Research and Training (CATIE, its Spanish acronym), the University of Costa Rica, and CIAT. Origin and Morphology The accession Brachiaria brizantha CIAT 26110 was collected in Burundi, on 15 May 1985 by G Keller-Grein of CIAT in collaboration with technicians from the Institut des Sciences Agronomiques du Burundi (ISABU). The collection site was at 2º53' S and 26º20' W, at 1,510 masl, and an average annual rainfall of 1,710 mm. The site was located between on Km 36 between Bubanza and Bukinanyama in the State of Cibitoke. In October of the same year, this accession was registered as CIAT 26110 in the germplasm bank held at CIAT. The accession was introduced into Costa Rica in 1988 for evaluation with other Brachiaria species at Los Diamantes experiment station in Guápiles, according to the cooperative agreement between MAG, CATIE, ECAG, and CIAT´s former Tropical Forages Program. Cultivar Toledo was derived directly from the B. brizantha accession CIAT 26110. It is a perennial grass that develops in form of tillers, and can grow as high as 1.6 m. It produces vigorous stalks that root at the nodes if these should come into close contact with the soil through, for example, trampling by animals or mechanical compaction, thus favoring soil cover and lateral displacement of the grass. Leaves are lanceolate, with little pubescence, and can be 60 cm long and 2.5 cm wide. The inflorescence is a panicle, 40 to 50 cm long. It usually carries four racemes, ranging from 8 to 12 cm in length and each carrying a single row of spikelets. One stalk can produce several inflorescences, each growing from a different node, although the largest is always at the terminal. 155
