Description:	Pastures of Brachiaria decumbens cv. Basilisk radically changed the scenario of central Brazil livestock production from the early 1970s and allowed the development of this vast region. Despite of the reasonable biomass yield and nutritional value, susceptibility to grassland spittlebugs limits its use nowadays. The breeding of B. decumbens was restricted to interspecific crosses using the cultivar Basilisk as pollen donor due to the lack of compatible sexual ecotypes within the species.
