Description
Résumé:To evaluate the effect of the incorporation of L. leucocephala on biomass production and the chemical composition of P. maximum cv. Tanzania in a silvopastoral system, an experiment was established in two grasslands, established with P. maximum cv. Tanzania as the only crop in one of them and in the other associated with L. leucocephala in an arrangement of pastures in alleys. In each meadow, 12 exclusion cages of 1m3 were placed in a completely random design with 2x4 factorial arrangement, two systems (monoculture and silvopastoral) and four cutting dates (28, 56, 84 and 112 days) and three repetitions. Chemical fertilization with Phosphonitrate was applied in each of the exclusion cages for both treatments. A significant difference was observed between systems for the variables height, coverage, production of organic matter (kg/ha), production of crude protein (kg/ha) and the percentage of FDN, reporting the best values of the silvopastoral system. It is concluded that the use of Leucaena offers important advantages if it is considered that it is capable of producing food of high nutritional value for animals, in addition, it improves the quality and quantity of forage of the system.
