Potássio no solo e na planta e produção de alfafa cultivada no sistema plantio direto sob doses de adubação potássica

Biezus, Vanessa 13 May 2013 (has links)
CAPES, PAE / Este trabalho teve como objetivo determinar o efeito da adubação potássica em cobertura (0, 50, 100, 200, 300, 400 e 500 kg de K2O ha-1) sobre a produção e valor nutritivo de forragem de alfafa implantada em sistema plantio direto. O experimento foi conduzido de setembro de 2010 a dezembro de 2011, em Pato Branco – PR. O delineamento experimental foi de blocos completamente casualizados com quatro repetições e sete tratamentos (doses de adubação potássica – K2O). As quantidades totais de adubação potássica foram divididas em três aplicações em cobertura (verão, outono e primavera) tendo como fonte o cloreto de potássio (KCl). As variáveis avaliadas foram: produção de matéria seca total (em um ano de avaliação), produção de matéria seca por estação do ano (primavera, verão, outono e inverno), produção de matéria seca por cortes, intervalo entre cortes, altura do dossel na ocasião do corte, concentração de potássio na parte aérea, valor nutritivo da forragem (FDA, PB e NDT), extração de potássio pela planta e teor de potássio no solo em profundidades. Os resultados foram submetidos à análise de variância, a um nível de 5% de significância, ao teste de Tukey para as variáveis qualitativas, e à análise de regressão polinomial para as quantitativas. O nível de adubação potássica não influenciou nenhuma das variáveis exceto o teor de K no solo, que também foi influenciado pela data de coleta e profundidade de amostragem. Produção de MS, concentração de K na parte aérea, teor de proteína bruta e altura do dossel no momento do corte, apenas sofreram influência da data de coleta. / This trial aimed to evaluate the potassium fertilization effects (0, 50, 100, 200, 300, 400 and 500 kg K2O ha-1) over forage production and nutritive value of alfalfa in the Southwestern Paraná. The experiment was carried out from September 2010 to December 2011 in Pato Branco – PR. Completely randomized blocks experimental design with four replications and seven treatments (potassium – K - fertilization levels) were used. The total amount of K was splitted out on three applications on cover (summer, fall and spring). Potassium chlorate (KCl – 60%) was used. The evaluated variable were: total dry matter production (one year round), dry matter production per harvest, harvests frequencies, sward canopy high in the harvests events, aboveground K concentration, forage nutritive value (NDA, CP, TDN), K plant uptake, and K concentration at different soil depths. The data were analyzed by variance analysis (5% significance). Tukey test was used for qualitative variables and polynomial regression analysis for quantitative variables. None variable was affected by potassium fertilization levels, except K concentration in the soil, this one was also affected by date and depth sampling. Dry matter production, aboveground K concentration, crude protein content, and sward canopy height at the harvests, were only affected by date sampling.

Rendimento de forrageiras anuais de inverno em diferentes épocas de semeadura

Pin, Edison Antonio January 2009 (has links)
O período de inverno é o mais crítico do ano no sul do Brasil em termos de provimento de forragem, devido às condições climáticas adversas. Por outro lado, nestes meses do ano é possível usar espécies adaptadas e bem manejadas, obter os rendimentos forrageiros desejados. Entre os fatores manipuláveis que definem a extensão dos vazios forrageiros, a época de semeadura é importante, especialmente se a produção animal estiver sendo realizada em sistema de integração lavourapecuária. Com objetivo de estudar materiais forrageiros como a aveia branca (Avena sativa L.) cv. IPR 126 aveia preta (Avena strigosa Schreb) cv. IAPAR 61, aveia preta comum (Avena sp.), azevém comum (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) e trigo (Triticum aestivum L.) cv. Tarumã e diferentes datas de semeadura (04 de abril, 24 de abril, 14 de maio e 03 de junho de 2008). Conduziu-se na Universidade Tecnológica Federal do Paraná, Campus Dois Vizinhos, um experimento em blocos ao acaso com quatro repetições. Houve interação entre forrageira e época para quase todas as variáveis avaliadas, indicando que deve ser analisada a correta combinação entre forrageiras e época de semeadura. Apesar da interação significativa, observou-se que, de maneira geral, as aveias IPR 126 e IAPAR 61 apresentaram maior produção de forragem, número de cortes e período de utilização. Em relação às épocas, verificou-se melhor resultado nas variáveis citadas quando as espécies foram semeadas até final de abril, porém com leve declínio do valor nutritivo quando as datas de semeadura foram atrasadas. O trigo Tarumã apresentou comportamento diferenciado das demais, pois houve aumento do valor nutritivo em função das épocas de semeadura. / The winter season is the most critic period of the year at the south of Brazil in terms of forage allowance, due to the climatic conditions. In the other hand, at this period of the year, it is possible to use well adopted species and get high forage yield. Among the manipulated factors that define the length of the forage lack, the sowing period is important, specially when the animal production is done in an integrated croplivestock system. Due to it, the aim of study was to evaluate forage species like white oat, (Avena sativa L.) cv. IPR 126 black oat (Avena strigosa Schreb) cv. IAPAR 61, common black oat (Avena sp.), ryegrass (Lolium miltiflorum Lam) and wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cv. Tarumã in different sowing periods (April 4 th, April 24 th, May 14th and June 3rd). The experiment was carried out at the Parana Federal Technologic University, campus of Dois Vizinhos in a randomized blocks with four replications. There was a significant interactions between forage specie and the sowed period to almost all of the variable studied, showing that the best arrangement among sowing date and species should be analyzed. Although the interaction, was notice in general that the IPR 126 and IAPAR 61 oats showed a higher production, higher number of cuts and period of use. In relation to the sowing periods, was noticed better results when the forage species were sowed by the and of April, however with o lower decline in the nutritive value with the sowing delay. The Taruma wheat showed a different behave from the other species once its nutritive value increased as the sowing dates passed.

Assessment of forage species and varieties for the central interior of British Columbia

McNeil, Allan Osborne January 1987 (has links)
1982 experiments were conducted to examine several aspects of forage quality in relation to animal nutrition, including the differences in quality between forage types (legumes or grasses), species and varieties; between years; between two hay mixes; and between three harvest dates. In addition, the importance of quality relative to yield is examined. In the first experiment, acid detergent fibre, neutral detergent fibre, crude protein, and nylon bag dry matter disappearance determinations were used to assess the variation in quality between forage types, species and varieties, and between years. In the second, voluntary dry matter intake and digestibility results were used to assess the variation in quality between hay mixes and harvest dates. The results of the first experiment indicate that the legumes were of higher quality than the grasses; red and alsike clover were of higher quality than alfalfa, and orchardgrass was of higher quality than timothy. With the exception of red clovers, where Lakeland and Pacific varieties were of higher quality than Altaswede, there was little difference in quality between varieties within a species. Neutral detergent fibre analysis results suggest a difference in intake between forages grown in different years while acid detergent fibre analysis results indicate no difference in digestibility would be expected between years. The results of the second experiment indicate there was a difference in quality between forage mixtures (the early maturing mixture was best), and harvests (early and mid bloom harvests were better than the late bloom harvest). The parameter with the largest variability was yield. Differences were greater between years than between types and species (the clovers highest, alfalfa and timothy intermediate, and orchardgrass lowest) with the least variation occurring between varieties within species. The red clover-timothy (late maturing) forage mixture was the highest yielding. Within forage mixtures the full bloom harvest (100% bloom of the legume component) had the highest yields. Since yield was more variable than the quality parameters studied, it was concluded that the most important consideration when selecting a forage mixture was yield. Since there tended to be little difference in quality parameters between varieties within a species, selecting the highest yielding combination would provide the largest amount of useable nutrients per hectare of land base. / Land and Food Systems, Faculty of / Graduate
