Evaluación agronómica de tres gramíneas bajo condiciones edafoclimáticas del municipio Jimaguayú en Camagüey

In order to determine in cut and dry land the adaptation and productivity of three grasses in the edaphoclimatic conditions of the livestock areas of Jimaguayu, a study was carried out on a brown soil without carbonate typical in plots of 20 m2, for which a Experimental design of random blocks with three repetitions; the species were: Panicum maximum cv Tanzania, Panicum maximum cv Mombasa and Pennisetum purpureum cv Mott. For their yields of DM, the cultivar Panicum maximum cv Tanzania stood out (P ≤ 0.05), which achieved 9.30 t / ha and 8.80 t / ha and 30.00 t / ha for the dry and rainy period respectively, while the cultivar Panicum maximum cv Mombasa was superior (P ≤ 0.05) in the PB content, which reached a value of 11.21%. Regarding the height of the cultivars, no significant differences were found in the dry season, but in the rainy period Panicum maximum cv Tanzania and Panicum maximum cv Mombasa outperform Pennisetum purpureum cv Mott. It is concluded that although the three species had an acceptable behavior in the edaphoclimatic conditions of the area where they were evaluated, the cultivar Panicum maximum cv Tanzania for its yields and the cultivar Panicum maximum cv Mombasa in protein content stand out.
