“…A utilização do diferimento ou reserva de pastos durante a estação chuvosa surge como alternativa para corrigir ou equilibrar a defasagem da produção de forragem durante o ano (Andrade, 1993;Lalman et al, 2000). O diferimento consiste em suspender a utilização da pastagem durante parte de seu período vegetativo, de modo a favorecer o acúmulo de forragem para utilização durante a época seca.…”

RESUMO.O efeito da época de diferimento sobre a produção e composição química da forragem do gramalote (Axonopus scoparius Fluggüe (Kuhlm.) durante a estação seca, foi avaliado em experimento conduzido em Porto Velho, Rondônia. O delineamento experimental foi em blocos casualizados com parcelas divididas e três repetições. As épocas de diferimento (28 de fevereiro, 28 de março e 28 de abril) representavam as parcelas principais e os períodos de utilização (30 de junho, 30 de julho, 30 de agosto e 30 de setembro) as subparcelas. Os resultados obtidos sugerem a viabilidade do diferimento de pastagens de A. scoparius, no final do período chuvoso, de modo a acumular forragem para a suplementação dos rebanhos durante o período seco. A maior produção de matéria seca (MS) foi verificada com o diferimento em fevereiro, vindo a seguir o em março. Utilizações em setembro ou agosto forneceram os maiores rendimentos de MS. Independentemente das épocas de diferimento, observou-se redução significativa (P<0,05) dos teores de proteína bruta e coeficientes de digestibilidade in vitro da MS com o aumento da idade das plantas. O diferimento em abril com utilizações em junho e julho proporcionou forragem com maiores teores de proteína bruta. Os maiores coeficientes de digestibilidade in vitro da MS foram registrados com o diferimento em abril e utilização em junho. Visando conciliar rendimento e qualidade de forragem, recomenda-se o seguinte esquema: diferimento em março para utilizações em junho e julho e, diferimento em abril para utilizações em agosto e setembro. ABSTRACT. An experiment was conducted in Porto Velho, Rondônia, with the purpose of determining the best time for pasture recuperation and utilization of the forage accumulated of (Axonopus scoparius Fluggüe (Kuhlm.) for herd supplementation during dry season. The experimental design was randomized complete blocks (split-plot) with three replicates.

“…Specifically, the maturity of the forage at the beginning of dormancy, the temperature and amount of daylight during the growing season, the moisture levels of soil and precipitation, forage species and variety, and level of N fertilization affect the forage mass and quality (Lalman et al, 2000). Wolf and Opitz von Boberfeld (2003) found that the shortening of the forage growing season before the onset of dormancy increases the forage quality.…”

“…In the Midwestern United States, beef cattle have traditionally been maintained during winter by providing stored feeds (Lalman et al, 2000). This feeding of hay and processed feeds is a common practice in the beef industry (Lalman et al, 2000) allowing producers a measure of risk management by facilitating the storage of feeds in excess of what would be consumed and produced in a given year.…”

“…This feeding of hay and processed feeds is a common practice in the beef industry (Lalman et al, 2000) allowing producers a measure of risk management by facilitating the storage of feeds in excess of what would be consumed and produced in a given year. This ability to store feeds allows producers to better manage both feed resources and cattle nutrition in years of decreased hay production or increased feed use caused by inclement weather.…”

“…This significance of feed costs make the decision of how and what to feed a driver in the profitability of most beef cattle production systems. The feeding of hay and processed feeds is a common practice in the beef industry (Lalman et al, 2000), but producers with lower feed costs generally allow cattle to harvest feeds . Furthermore, grazing stockpiled forage has reduced feed costs for spring-calving beef cows by reducing the need for harvested feeds .…”

A two‐year, small‐plot study was conducted to evaluate plant growth‐promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) for biofertilization of fall‐stockpiled bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pres.]. Eighteen, 10.8‐ft2 bermudagrass (cultivar ‘Coastal’) plots were mowed to 1‐inch stubble height prior to stockpiling. Experimental treatments included a negative control, synthetic fertilizer, PGPR single‐strain DH 44, DH 44 + fertilizer, PGPR multiple‐strain Blend 20, and Blend 20 + fertilizer (n = 3). Two PGPR applications were made, one at the beginning of each stockpiling season in mid‐August, and again 30 days later. Ammonium sulfate was applied at 50 lb N/acre concurrent with the first PGPR application. Each plot was divided into three subplots, which were harvested at different periods (i.e., mid‐November, mid‐December, and mid‐January) of each year to determine forage dry matter (DM) yield and nutritive value. Forage DM yield was greatest (P ≤ .03) for Blend 20 + fertilizer, but it was not different (P = .26) from that of the synthetic fertilizer treatment. Concentration of crude protein was least (P < .04) for DH 44 and Blend 20 treatments. Concentrations of acid detergent fiber were not different among treatments, except for the negative control which was lower (P < .05). In vitro true digestibility was not different (P < .05) among treatments. These results indicate that PGPR may be a viable option for biofertilization; however, further investigation into the effect of PGPR inoculants at field level is needed.
