SILAGENS DE SORGO, CAPIM-TAMANI E ESTILOSANTES EM SISTEMA INTEGRADO: PRODUÇÃO E QUALIDADE

Abstract

Crop-livestock integration systems are efficient technologies for diversify production and promote agricultural sustainability. However, it is necessary learn more about the triple consortium of cultures for silage production. In that sense,The objective was to evaluate the nutritional value of sorghum silage intercropped with tamani grass and Beautiful styling in integrated systems. The experimental design used was that of blocks randomized, with four replications. The treatments consisted of the silage of: sorghum in monoculture; tamani grass in monoculture (Panicum maximum cv. BRS Tamani); Bela stylosans in monoculture (Stylosanthes guianensis cv. BRS Bela); intercropped sorghum with tamani grass; sorghum intercropped with Bela stylists; stylist Bela consorciado with tamani grass and sorghum intercropped with tamani grass + Bela stylo, totaling 28 experimental silos. The results showed that sorghum intercropped with tropical forages can be used in integrated silage production systems to increase production of the ensiled mass per area, provide pasture after harvesting crops for the production of silage, improving land use efficiency in a sustainable way. sorghum silage intercropped with tamani grass and Bela stylosanthes increases the DM, EE and NDT levels of the forage silages in monoculture. On the other hand, tropical forages contribute to increase the CP contents of sorghum silage in monoculture, which may result in a reduction the cost of acquiring protein salts, aiming at providing protein in the diet of ruminants. Thus, the triple consortium of sorghum + tamani grass and Bela stylosante, can be recommended for the production of silage, bringing advantages to the annual crop and tropical foragers.
