ResumoA escolha adequada das forrageiras, sejam elas de Ciclo C3 ou C4, para os diferentes animais de produção é importante, pois algumas forrageiras podem causar danos à saúde do animal quando fornecida inadequadamente para determinada espécie de animal. Nesse sentido, utilizar as novas técnicas de manejo, as quais consideram as alturas de entrada e saída dos animais de cada cultivar forrageiro (não negligenciam variações climáticas e de solo existente nas diferentes regiões do país), são indispensáveis para que se tenha uma
This study aimed to evaluate seedling cultivation methods through cladodes fragmentation three varieties of forage cactus. The design was completely randomized in a factorial scheme (2x3) the factors corresponded to two planting methods (Vertical and Horizontal) of cladodes fragments and three variety of cactus pear (variety Doce, Bahia and Mexican). The variety of the genre Nopalea sp. obtained sprouting percentage above 80% for planting method with the fragment planted vertically. Significant effect was observed in the interaction between variety of spineless cactus and planting method for the perimeter of the cladodes, evaluated morphometry showed effect only between varieties. The vertical planting method of forage cactus varieties fragments shows higher percentage of viable seedlings for planting and Mexican variety is not suitable for production of seedlings by the cladodes fragmentation method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
