Evaluación del comportamiento de cuatro (4) Gramíneas, Bermuda (cynodon dactylon), Angleton (dichantium aristatum benth), Estrella (cynodon plectostachyus), Pasto aguja (brachiaria humidicola) cultivados en el trópico bajo del Municipio de Villa del Rosario.

Abstract

Herbivorous animals are very good at transforming either green or dehydrated forage into meat, milk or wool. The health of the production, reproduction and welfare of the animals will depend on the quality of this forage and that in the end is reflected in the quality of its products, so with the aim of knowing the behavior and production of 4 bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon ), Angleton (Saidium aristatum benth), Star (Cynodon plectostachyus), Needle grass (Brachiaria Humidicola) cultivated in the lower tropics of the municipality of Villa del Rosario, a research process was developed where each grass was evaluated at 40, 50 and 60 days after pruning, with a capacity of 100 square cm, taking 4 samples for each grass on each of these days, to evaluate the nutritional contributions and phenological behavior of each of these grasses; the grass that obtained a higher green forage biomass production (fv) in each of these cycles was that of the needle grass grass (brachiaria humidicola) that obtained 546,000 ± 45,687 after 40 days, 551,250 ± 65,368 after 50 days, and at 60 days 592,500 ± 45,735 gr / m 2 and the forage with the highest% of crude protein (pc) was bermudagrass (cynodon dactylon) with its highest peak of pc at 40 days post pruning with 11,708 ± 0.222.
