Produtividade e qualidade de sementes de forrageiras tropicais em razão do parcelamento da adubação nitrogenada

Abstract

The objective was to evaluate the effect of splitting N coverage on productivity and physiological quality of seeds of tropical forage cultivars grown for seed production . In the first experiment was used for fodder Panicum maximum cv . Mombasa and led at the Farm Canelão Ranchi (SP). Experiment II the forage used was Urochloa humidicola cv. Llanero, and was conducted on the farm Paradise Resort , St. Anastasius (SP ). The experimental design was adopted in a randomized complete block design with four replications. The treatments consisted of five methods for managing 150 kg ha- 1 of N in forage grass 0-0 (control); 150-0 ; 0-150 ; 100-50 and 50-100 kg ha- 1 of N. We evaluated purity analysis , germination, seed viability tetrazolium , dry matter production and leaf analysis . The data were submitted to ANOVA and mean values compared by Tukey test at 5 % using the statistical program SISVAR . In the first experiment , the macronutrient content , treatments 150-0 , and 100-50 0-150 kg ha- 1 of N different ( p < 0.05 ) the control ( 0-0 kg ha -1 N). The purity results , viability and germination showed no difference ( p> 0.05). We observed the increased productivity (p < 0.05) in treatment 0-150 ; 100-50 and 50-100 kg ha -1 N , compared to the control treatment (0-0 kg ha -1 N). For dry matter of shoots , treatment 150-0 kg ha -1 N obtained a production increase (p < 0.05 ) compared to control (0-0 kg ha -1 N). For the reason productivity by dry matter for the experiment I was no significant difference for the treatment ( 0-150 kg ha -1 N ) compared to control (0-0 kg ha -1 N ) , however this did not differ from other treatments 150-0 ; 100-50 and 50-100 kg ha -1 N, for the second trial there was no significant correlation between productivity by dry matter. In this context, it can be concluded that the nitrogen fertilization installment of the forage grown for the purpose of seed production, should be performed with even greater in pre- boot stage for cv. Mombasa, as for cv. Llanero fertilization should preferably be positioned at the initial stage of the vegetative growth of plants.
