Produção e composição bromatológica do capim pé-de-galinha

Abstract

This experiment was carried out to evaluate the production and bromatologic composition of the forrage: pearl millet, sorghum and finger millet under different nitrogen levels in soybean production area. Was become fullfilled the experiment in the Agronomic Institute of the Paraná - IAPAR of Palotina, and the bromatologic analyses carried through in the Unioeste Campus of Marechal Cândido Rondon - PR. The treatments had been: sorghum, pearl millet and finger millet with 0, 20, 40 and 60 kg.ha-1 N. The experimental delineation block-type was randomized with three repetitions arranged in fatorial. The plantation was carried through in the month of September and the evaluation carried through in November. It was verified that finger millet presented greater rude protein text (13.29%) significantly differing (P<0,05) from pearl millet (11.25%) and sorghum (9.57%). However, finger millet presented the smallest revenue crude protein. For texts FND and FAD, finger millet presented lower values (64.97% and 32.66%, respectively) to pearl millet (68.02% and 37.45%) and sorghum (69.72% and 38.19%). The fertilization promoted increase in the production of dry substance (DS) for sorghum and pearl millet. The use of the sorgo is recommended for graze by promoting larger matter production and crude protein. The nitrogen fertilization did not have significant effect in the chemical composition of the forrage.
