Ante la necesidad de transferir tecnología de pastos de menor uso en agua de riego en el Valle de Tulancingo, el objetivo del estudio fue evaluar tres pastos mexicanos Panicum virgatum, Sporobolus airoides y Tripsacum dactyloides en producción de forraje, densidad de población tallos, producción de semilla y caracterización de semillas de manera física y fisiológica. El estudio se llevó a cabo de abril a agosto y de agosto a diciembre de 2020 en condiciones de riego por goteo con 10 trasplantes en 12 m2 a partir de plantas adultas. El rendimiento mayor de forraje (suma de dos ciclos) y hojas se observó en P. virgatum (3.59 t MS ha-1; P < 0.0001), seguido por T. dactyloides (1.15 t MS ha-1) y S. airoides (0.719 t MS ha-1). La población de tallos vivos acumulada en T. dactyloides fue 216, en P. virgatum 187 y en S. airoides 82 tallos por planta-1 (P < 0.0001). La producción de diásporas en suma de los dos ciclos, en P. virgatum fue 147 kg ha-1, similar (P > 0.05) a T. dactyloides, sin embargo, las cúpulas con incipiente pureza física (0.79 %). La mayor pureza física (14.08 kg ha-1; P < 0.0001) y semilla pura viable (12.3 kg ha-1; P < 0.0001) se observó en Sporobolus airoides.
The objective of the study was to evaluate the seed yield variables in situ in Bouteloua gracilis, Bouteloua hirsuta, Bouteloua curtipendula, Mulhenbergia rigida and Schizachyrium scoparium in La Siberia, Chapingo, Mexico. The study was carried out on wild plants in which the following were recorded: total stems plant-1, number of branches plant-1, number and quantity of seed-1, stem-1 and plant- 1 to later evaluate the percentage of filling and viability. The data were analyzed with GLM of SAS in Completely Random Blocks design and Tukey’s test (α = 0.05). There was no grass species that exceeded 25 flower stems per plant (P<0.001). B. gracilis showed a lower number of inflorescences per plant compared to B. hirsuta (P<0.001), however, with a higher number of branches (P <0.001). Seed production per plant (mg) was higher in M. rigida (P <0.001; 12902), followed by B. curtipendula (2246) and S. scoparium (1465). In physical quality of B. curtipendula seed, it presented a higher percentage of filling (P<0.001; 17%) and S. scoparium greater viability (P<0.001; 78%) and weight of 1000 seeds (P<0.001; 1.52 mg). In La Siberia, B. curtipendula and S. scoparium were identified as potential grasses to collect seed and then be used for reclamation or rehabilitation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
