Manejo agronómico en época seca para la producción forrajera del pasto Brachiaria decumbens

The main objective of this research was to understand the agronomic management of Brachiaria decumbens for forage production during the dry season. The methodology was based on information from current documents such as research articles, virtual libraries, blogs, and websites, which allowed for a better analysis of the opinions and ideas of stakeholders regarding agronomic management during the dry season for Brachiaria decumbens forage production. Regarding the results, agronomic management of pastures seeks to optimize their productivity and persistence by maintaining forage balance and nutrient recycling. To estimate grass availability in pastures, methods such as fertilization, cultural practices, and weed, pest, and disease control are required. In conclusion, it was found that grasses of the Brachiaria genus exhibit good adaptation, yield, and high nutritional value for animal feed, provided that appropriate agronomic management is implemented, based on fertilization, cultural practices, and weed, pest, and disease control. This optimizes productivity and persistence, maintaining forage balance and nutrient recycling. The most appropriate seeding density for Brachiaria decumbens grass with seeds is between 5 and 8 kg/ha, with a cutting age of 75 days producing the highest yields during the dry season.

En el desarrollo de esta investigación se planteó como objetivo principal conocer el manejo agronómico en época seca para la producción forrajera del pasto Brachiaria decumbens. La metodología, se baso con información de documentos actuales tales como artículos de investigación, bibliotecas virtuales, blog y sitios web que permitieron tener un mejor margen de análisis con las opiniones e ideas de los actores sobre el manejo agronómico en época seca para la producción forrajera del pasto Brachiaria decumbens. En cuanto a los resultados, el manejo agronómico de las pasturas tiene como propósito optimizar su productividad y persistencia manteniendo el balance de forraje y el reciclaje de nutrientes, para estimar la disponibilidad de pasto en los potreros se requiere el empleo de métodos tales como la fertilización, prácticas culturales, control de malezas, plagas y enfermedades. En conclusión, se conoció que los pastos del género Brachiaria presentan buen nivel de adaptación, rendimiento y elevado valor nutritivo para la alimentación animal, siempre y cuando se lleve a cabo un adecuado manejo agronómico basado en la fertilización, prácticas culturales, control de malezas, plagas y enfermedades mismas que permiten optimizar la productividad y persistencia procurando mantener el balance de forraje y el reciclaje de nutrientes. La densidad de siembra más adecuada del pasto Brachiaria decumbens utilizando semillas es entre 5 y 8 kg/ha, siendo los 75 días la edad de corte que en la época seca presenta los mayores rendimientos.
