Características morfológicas e qualidade do capim tamani em sistema integrado de produção agropecuária

Abstract

The consortium between legume and grass in SIPA, aims to recover degraded areas, greater accumulation of straw, besides increasing soil fertility and animal production, as the legume is a natural nitrogen fixer and among other factors that decrease means that degrade the medium over time, resulting in improvements to the SIPA. The objective of this study was to evaluate the production and quality of cultivated single and intercropped Tamani grass in succession to soybean in an integrated system of agricultural production in Mato Grosso. The treatments are implanted after the soybean harvest, being the following: Panicum maximum cv. BRS Tamani intercropped with cowpea, P. maximum cv. BRS Tamani intercropped with pigeon pea and P. maximum cv. BRS Tamani cultivated single. The single Tamani grass presented greater forage mass in relation to the consortia. The consortium of the grass with the cowpea modified the morphological characteristics of the grass. There was improvement of pasture quality with the inclusion of cowpea in the consortium.
