A new Embrapa-led meta-analysis found that deep-rooted tropical grasses such as brachiaria can increase soybean yields by 15% while improving soil health in Brazil. The study reviewed 55 research papers across 33 locations and highlighted gains in microbial activity, nutrient cycling and organic carbon. Researchers say the grasses support sustainable crop intensification and regenerative agriculture in tropical production systems.
