Effects of nitrogen fertilization on the production and composition of Cynodon plectostachyus

To evaluate how the application of different doses of urea affects the production of dry matter (DM) and nutritional composition of star grass, a trial applying three levels of nitrogen fertilization was conducted: T0: control (0 kg/N/ha), T1: 40.5 kg of N/ha, T2: 81 kg of N/ha. The plot where treat...

Pasto estrella fertilización nitrogenada calidad nutricional rendimiento proteína urea Star grass nitrogen fertilization nutritional quality yield protein urea To evaluate how the application of different doses of urea affects the production of dry matter (DM) and nutritional composition of star grass, a trial applying three levels of nitrogen fertilization was conducted: T0: control (0 kg/N/ha), T1: 40.5 kg of N/ha, T2: 81 kg of N/ha. The plot where treatments were applied presents a pasture of C. plectostachyus, with 15 years of implantation and never fertilized, used for direct grazing with high loads. A complete random blocks design was used, with three treatments and three repetitions, applying the fertilizer at the beginning of the work, after a pairing cut. The cuts were made on 23/04, 14/05 and 16/06. From the samples obtained, the DM production was evaluated and at the laboratory, DM, crude protein (CP) and neutral detergent fiber (NDF) were determined. The nitrogenous fertilization of “star grass” produced an increase in DM production of up to 40% for the whole period analyzed, being more than 25% in the first cut. The CP concentration increases approximately 20% with the application of nitrogen at the beginning of autumn, maintaining this effect for 2 months, after which it disappears. The answer was greater for T1. The concentration of NDF was not affected by nitrogen fertilization, although it is observed less NDF in the first cut, for all treatments. The combination of higher concentration of CP and lower NDF, implies an improvement in the nutritional quality of the pasture in the initial post-fertilization period. Con el objetivo de evaluar cómo afecta la aplicación de diferentes dosis de urea sobre la producción de materia seca (MS) y la composición nutricional del “pasto estrella”, se realizó un ensayo aplicando tres niveles de fertilización nitrogenada: T0: testigo (0 kg/N/ha), T1: 40,5 kg/N/ ha, y T2: 81 kg/N/ha. La parcela donde se aplicaron los tratamientos presentaba una pastura de C. plectostachyus (Pilger), con 15 años de implantada y nunca fertilizada, utilizada para pastoreo directo con altas cargas. Se utilizó un diseño en bloques completos al azar, con tres tratamientos y tres repeticiones, aplicando el fertilizante al inicio del trabajo, luego de un corte de emparejamiento. Los cortes se realizaron en el mismo año, los días 23/04, 14/05 y 16/06. A partir de las muestras se obtuvo la producción de MS y en el laboratorio se efectuó la determinación de proteína bruta (PB) y fibra detergente neutro (FDN). La fertilización nitrogenada del “pasto estrella” produjo un aumento de la producción de MS, de hasta el 40% para todo el período analizado, siendo mayor a 25% en el primer corte. La concentración de PB aumentó aproximadamente un 20% con la aplicación de nitrógeno al inicio del otoño, manteniendo este efecto durante 2 meses, luego de lo cual desapareció. La respuesta fue mayor para T1. La concentración de FDN no fue afectada por la fertilización nitrogenada, aunque se observó menor FDN en el primer corte, para todos los tratamientos. La combinación de mayor concentración de PB y menor de FDN, implica una mejoría en la calidad nutricional de la pastura en el período inicial post-fertilización.
