Agro-productive behavior from Axonopus scoparius in Morona Santiago province

Abstract

The production of Axonopus scoparius was developed on the premises of the ESPOCH extension Morona Santiago, for which five treatments were used (T0: without fertilizer, T1: 10-30-10 + urea, T2: chicken faces + urea, T3: 10- 30-10 + chicken faces + urea and T4: Cuyinaza + urea) with four replications, the same ones that were distributed in 20 experimental 5 x 4 plots, considering that only the data of 16 square meters was taken as a net plot; the results obtained were analyzed under a Completely Random Block Design and separation of means according to Tukey. Periodically, data collection was carried out, such as: height and forage production, when the grass reached its climax. Once the information was processed, it was possible to determine that the height of the initial Axonopus scoparius, at 15, 30, the weight of the biomass of 16 square meters, daily weight increase, forage production per hectare, estimated animal load at 90 , 18 and 270 days did not register significant differences; while the height at 75 and 90 days was 117.05 and 148.73 cm, the increase in height during the 90 days was 145 cm and the daily growth of the plant was 1.61 cm, the use of the 10-30 treatment being the most efficient. -10 + chicken manure + urea.
