Management Practices and Bioproductivity in Grassland of Dry Areas

Abstract: In Mexico, the grassland represents 40.1% of the total area of the country and it is a source of feed for livestock, although suffers different degrees of degradation due to lack of management and adverse climatic conditions. The problem of the grasslands is complex since it involves diverse type's soils, presence of invasive plants, low success in the establishment of grasses or replanting, high fluctuation in the rainfall distribution, as well as the low capacity of the soil to retain moisture. Among these c… Show more

“…Different water deficit responses at physiological, biochemical, cellular, and molecular levels are involved in plants tolerant to water deficits [46]. These processes include improvement in the root system, leaf structure, osmotic adjustment, relative water content, and stomata regulation of the gasses' flow in terms of photosynthesis, transpiration, and stomatal conductance rates [22,47]. RWC is an important physiological variable to know the tissue hydric status, and it is directly linked to plant potential under different environments [48].…”

“…Some crop management alternatives are needed to produce chili peppers with lower amounts of water. Techniques such as biostimulants are used during critical phenological stages of the crop [20,21], as well as soil moisture retainers [22] and plant species tolerant to water deficits [23,24], all of which are proving to be options to mitigate water shortage, mainly with the evaluation of chili pepper cultivars and its tolerance to water stress in terms of physiology, biochemical, growth, and yield responses [25][26][27].…”

“…El contenido de clorofila y la producción de biomasa fueron significativamente mayores (P≤ 0.05) en el tratamiento donde se combinó la siembra 10 kg ha -1 de pasto y aplicación de 10 t ha -1 de residuos de cosecha de maíz como cobertura del suelo (Sp + Cv), respecto del resto de los tratamientos, con valores de 162.0 y 167.8 g m -2 , respectivamente, en comparación con el testigo que registró valores de 18.9 µmol m -2 s -1 , 105.7 y 54.4 g m -2 . Lo anterior, representa un incremento del 12.1, 53.2 y 208.4 % de incremento entre estas variables, respectivamente, lo cual sugiere que la siembra del pasto requiere ser complementada con la incorporación de una cobertura en el suelo, que en este estudio fue los residuos de cosecha de maíz o bien algún otro tipo de retenedor de la humedad edáfica, como lo reportaron diferentes autores (12,17,28) . La conductancia estomática, transpiración y la eficiencia en el uso del agua, no fueron afectadas por los tratamientos aplicados en este estudio (Cuadro 2).…”

“…El pasto buffel (Cenchrus ciliaris L.) es una especie introducida en México que ha mostrado adaptación a condiciones críticas de tipo ambiental en zonas semiáridas, las cuales sustentan en gran medida, su economía en la ganadería extensiva de agostadero (13,14) . Aun cuando esta especie de pasto tiene un alto potencial de adaptación y desarrollo en suelos degradados de zonas semiáridas (9,15) , el establecimiento de esta especie forrajera en condiciones ambientales marginales requiere de un manejo adecuado de los recursos naturales, que garantice su germinación, crecimiento y productividad acorde a su potencial de desarrollo (16,17) . Desde esta perspectiva, las coberturas vegetales en el suelo y otros retenedores de humedad edáfica, entre otras prácticas, están probando ser una estrategia eficaz en el desarrollo sustentable de áreas ganaderas a base de pastizal en suelos degradados de zonas áridas (6,18,19) .…”

The use of native and introduced grasses, in addition to rainwater harvesting and soil moisture retention practices, is proving to be effective in areas with low rainfall [6][7][8].…”
