Se discuten varios conceptos relativos al mejoramiento de leguminosas forrajeras y a su adaptacion a suelos acidos de baja fertilidad. Se observa que es raro que un ecotipo nativo selecionado ofrezca todas las caracteristicas requeridas para praderas de pastoreo. Los objetivos del mejoramiento deben ser muy especificos, lo cual se logra con una estrecha colaboracion entre los introduccionistas de plantas, agronomos especialistas en leguminosas y cientificos en la utilizacion de pasturas.
