METHODOLOGIES FOR EVALUATING FORAGE GERMPLASM INTEGRATION INTO TREE CROPPING SYSTEMS GRAEME BLAIR Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research, Department <strong>of</strong> Agronomy and Soil Science, University <strong>of</strong> New England Armidale, N.S.W. 2351, Australia ABSTRACT The primary objective <strong>of</strong>any plant evaluation program is to identify species or varieties that will, under a defined set <strong>of</strong> management conditions, contribute the higher, more stable, and less risky animal production. When selecting germplasm fol evaluation there needs to be a clear definition <strong>of</strong> the climate, soils, known pests and diseases, the farming system, how the forage will be used (supplement, sole feed) and its establishment. This paper describes a method to characterize temperature, light and soil moisture limitations to plant growth so that targeted germplasm can be evaluated. An evaluation system .for initial introduction to seed production and extension is described. Evaluation data can be analyzed by means <strong>of</strong> simple graphical techniques or through to complex hierarchical computer systems. Examples are presented. Forage evaluations require considerable resources <strong>of</strong> land, labor and funds. Improvements in the efficiency <strong>of</strong> the process can be made by carefully defining the climatic and soil environment when selecting germplasm to be evaluated and thefarming system into which the forage is to be incorporated. The maintenance <strong>of</strong> good evaluation records and the use <strong>of</strong> computer programs to store and analyze data also increases efficiency and decreases the chance <strong>of</strong> bias in the evaluations. In all situations, it is best to reduce the size <strong>of</strong> the evaluation program to fit the available resources rather than collect data fron a poorly managed nursery or plot area. GERMPLASM SELECTION The primary objective <strong>of</strong> any plant evaluation program is to identify forage species or varieties that will, under a defined set <strong>of</strong> management conditions, enhance animal production. The performance <strong>of</strong> a species is <strong>of</strong>ten more successful outside its centre <strong>of</strong> origin than within because natural pests and diseases are lacking. On the other hand, local species may contain a degree <strong>of</strong> resistance to pests and diseases which is not present in introduced materials. For this reasons, both introduced and, wherever possible, local material should be included in evaluation studies. In selecting germplasm, itis important to define the ecosystem into which the species is to be incorporated. This subject is dealt with in more detail by Dr. W.W. Stiir at this meeting. The most important considerations are: " Climate, including temperature, light and soil moisture. * Soils: the most important soil characters to define are pH, drainage, and the presence/absence <strong>of</strong> toxic substances such as Al and Mn. * Pests and diseases: any known insect pests and/or disease should be identified, as germplasm with known resistance or tolerance may exist in collections. 34
