Produção de sementes de trevo vesiculoso como alternativa econômica para os sistemas de produção em projeto de reforma agrária: o caso do Assentamento Novo Arroio Grande, Arroio Grande/RS

Abstract

The objective of this work was to evaluate the incorporate of arrow leaf clover cv. Yuchi for seed production in Nesting Novo Arroio Grande, Arroio Grande (RS) and the other benefits of the presence of this legume specie in agricultural and pasture system. This work was realized in seven production units where were identified three systems: beef cattle production, dairy cattle production and both. Were installed seven areas for seed production with approximately 0.25 ha. The forage production and quality were determined from cuts made in three replicates of 1.0m2 being quantified: the content and yield of dry matter, crude protein and in vitro digestibility. Phenological evaluations were made during the crop cycle and from the date of sowing these events were determined: first and sixth trifoliolade leaf, first branch, flowering start and full, and seed maturation. The yield components were evaluated such as number of plants for area, number of inflorescence for plant, number of inflorescence for area and thousand seed weight. Analysis of simple linear correlation were made between: the different yield components with seed production; the quantity of phosphor applied with yield seed, crude protein and dry matter production. The clover seed production including soil seed bank showed yield of 636 kg.ha-1 which creates an increase of 97% in the gain and showing as an alternative for nesting productions units. The forage production with high quality presents capability to change the reality of the production in agro-pastoral systems. Key Words: seed production, Trifolium vesiculosum, production systems, settlement, agrarian reform, diversified production.
