**5. Establishment of** *Arachis pintoi* **CIAT 17434 by two tillage methods in a native pasture of Veracruz, Mexico**

In the humid tropics of Mexico, native pastures are affected by climatic variations from one season to another that make it difficult, to obtain stable yields of forage during the year.

Also, financial constraints of most producers in the tropics must be considered when trying to introduce forage species [40]; so it is justified, evaluate and implement systems-on plant‐ ing native vegetation, different from the traditional, in order to encourage the adoption of new and improved grass species, the lower potential economic costs.

In order to improve the botanical composition of native pasture in north-central region of Veracruz, Mexico, was evaluated two methods of establishment to incorporate the forage le‐ gume *Arachis pintoi* CIAT 17434.
