Capim paiaguás consorciado com leguminosas forrageiras em sistemas integrados de produção agropecuária

Abstract

The use of soybean pasture is a strategy that feeds animals without a dry effect and produces straw for the next harvest. Insertion of legumes can increase the protein content of the pasture and thus, improve animal performance. On the one hand the work was evaluated as a forage mass and as morphological characteristics and a forage quality of the capi. The experiment was carried out at the Gravataí Farm, in Itiquira-MT, in the form of paiaguás grass cultivated and consortium with cowpeas and pigeon pea legumes, under continuous stocking. The dry matter, height, morphological characteristics, mineral matter, crude protein, neutral detergent fiber and non-winter acid content of 2017 were determined. Data were submitted to analysis of variance, and as means when significant, compared test of Scott-Knott (p <0.05), using SISVAR (Version 5.6). The paiaguás grass were able to reach the highest dry resistance index without a collagen cycle of 4.8 Mg ha-1, being beneficial for no-tillage, the consortium of paiaguás grass with legumes did not affect the grass morphology, as well as good accumulations of dry matter with 3.2 and 3.5 Mg ha-1 for systems with cowpea and pigeon legumes respectively. The pigeon pea began a slower study of cowpea. The Paimang grass consortium with a leguminous cowpea favored pasture quality, thus benefiting individual animal performance and area.
