Curva de crescimento do Capim BRS Capiaçu para região de Laranjeiras do Sul PR

Abstract

The work was carried out in the city of Laranjeiras do Sul PR, to determine the growth curve of Capim BRS Capiaçu, the cultivar proves to be a viable alternative for use in direct grazing, cutting for chopped supply and silage production. BRS Capiaçu has characteristics of plants with a high size of more than 4.0 m in height with green leaves, wide on average of 5.2 cm, long on average of 106 cm with white central rib, absence of hair in the adult plant, thick stems with diameter around 1.6 cm and internodes on average of 16 cm, has rapid growth and high leaf growth by skinting with a median of 30 perchildren/m2 with high erect clump with tipping resistance thus providing ease of mechanized harvesting, has moderate tolerance to water deficit recommended for regions of summer periods. The life of a living being can be demonstrated through a sigmoid-shaped graph, through it it is possible to observe the growth and production of this individual throughout his life, in the case of forage the ideal resting point represents the moment of cutting to the tooth or machinery. Brs Capiaçu forage proved to be suitable as an alternative for use in animal grazing, chopped supply and silage use. . The forage void consists of two periods of the year in which the availability of fodder is lower in quantity and quality, these periods are well defined and happens annually called autumnal forage void of march and May, empty spring forage from September to November, being this cultivar option to alleviate the forage deficit in these periods of forage voids.
