**4. Establishment of** *Arachis pintoi* **CIAT 17434 and** *Pueraria phaseoloides* **CIAT 9900 using minimum tillage in Veracruz, Mexico**

In the watershed Gulf of Mexico region, there is a highly seasonal pasture production due to climate variability. The main genera are components of *Paspalum*, *Panicum* and *Cynodon* (Gramineae), and in smaller proportions *Centrosema* and *Desmodium* [37]. Among the le‐ gumes evaluated in that area, *A. pintoi* CIAT 1434 and *Pueraria phaseoloides* CIAT 9900 out‐ standing for their performance and good adaptation [38].

The cost of establishing pastures in native savanna vegetation is high when following tradi‐ tional methods. Given this, it is justified to evaluate planting systems cheaper, to promote the adoption of new forages and their use to recover degraded pasture [39]. Therefore, this trial is performed to supporting evidence to assess the effect of various types of tillage and application of phosphorus on the establishment of *A*. *pintoi* CIAT 17434 and *Pueraria phaseo‐ loides* CIAT 9900 in native pastures.
