Cultivation coefficient (Kc) and water consumption, productive and biometric factors of tropical grasses in exclusive cultivation and overseeding with winter forages Pastures represent the largest part of the agricultural area and contribute to the second and fifth activities that make up the Brazilian GPD, meat and milk. The increasing use of pasture irrigation primarily arose in dairy areas, along with processes that improve the production, and subsequently reache areas of beef cattle. Thus, there is a need for an adequate irrigation management, and it is fundamental to know the crop evapotranspiration of pastures, their productive limits and their characteristics in this intensification process. Therefore, this work aimed to determine the crop water consumption, the values of crop coefficient (Kc), and the productive and biometric parameters of two tropical grasses (Panicum maximum cv. 'Mombasa' and Cynodon spp.) single cropped and intercropped in oversseeding with black oats and ryegrass. As secondary goals, it sought: (i) measuring the biometric parameters of forage canopy height (ADF) and leaf area index (LAI) between the cycles, identifying the best cutting period; (ii) estimating the mean accumulation of degree-days of development (GDD) in the different seasons, correlating them with forage growth; (iii) estimating the crop water consumption with the FDR probe Diviner 2000® and correlating its data with the crop water consumption measured on weighing lysimeters. The study was carried out at the "Luiz de Queiroz" College of Agriculture (ESALQ/USP), at Piracicaba, SP (Latitude 22°42'14"S; Longitude 47°37'24"W; Altitude de 569 m a.s.l.). The experiments were conducted from March 2015 to February 2017, with a randomized complete block design with 4 treatments: 1-single cropped 'Mombasa guinea grass ; 2-'Mombasa' guinea grass intercropped with oats and ryegrass; 3-single cropped Cynodon spp.; 4-Cynodon spp. intercropped with oats and ryegrass. The winter forages were black oats (Avena strigosa) cv. Embrapa 29 (Garoa) and ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum) cv. Fepagro São Gabriel. The calibrations of the lysimeters and the FDR probe had good adjustments, with high correlation coefficients. The results obtained of crop water consumption by the grasses showed a great variation by period and inside the growing cycles with great water consumption, often obtaining Kc values above 1. Good correlations were obtained between crop growth, LAI and degrees-days accumulation (GDD). The accumulated values of crop coefficient (Kc) were higher with the FDR sensor than with the lysimeters. The detailed results can be found in the chapters of this work.
