Resumo
O presente estudo foi realizado com o objetivo avaliar as características morfogênicas e o acúmulo de forragem do dossel de Brachiaria brizantha cv. Marandu em função de diferentes ofertas de forragem, em regime de desfolha intermitente, ao longo da estação chuvosa. O experimento foi realizado no setor de forragicultura da FCAV, no período chuvoso de 2005/2006. O delineamento experimental foi em blocos ao acaso, utilizando o esquema de parcelas subdivididas, com três repetições. Nas parcelas foi avaliado o efeito das ofertas de forragem (4, 7, 10 e 13 % de OF) e na subparcela o efeito dos ciclos de pastejo (CP). Foram avaliadas as seguintes variáveis: altura do dossel comprimido, massa de forragem, dinâmica de acúmulo de forragem e características morfogênicas e estruturais. Observou-se aumento da altura do dossel comprimido com acréscimo da OF. Da mesma forma foi verificado acréscimo na massa de forragem. Constatou-se aumento da massa de forragem, pós pastejo, com a sucessão dos CP, exceto para OF de 4 %, que se manteve constante (3181 kg/ha) ao longo dos CP. Apenas a taxa de alongamento de colmo, das características morfogênicas sofreu alteração em função da OF, sendo que, esta variável aumentou linearmente com a OF. A densidade de perfilhos vegetativos aumentou linearmente com a intensidade de pastejo, no entanto, a densidade de perfilhos reprodutivos e totais ajustou-se ao modelo quadrático. Observou-se tendência de maior acúmulo de forragem nas OF intermediárias (7 e 10 %). Sendo assim, concluise que OF ao redor de 8 % parece ser a mais indicada para o manejo de pastagem de capim - Marandu em pastejo rotacionado.
The present study aimed to evaluate the morphogenetic characteristics and the herbage accumulation of Brachiaria brizantha cv. Marandu swards in function different herbage allowance, managed on intermittent stocking during the summer season. The experiment was carried out at Departamento de Zootecnia, FCAV/UNESP, in the summer period of 2005/2006 year. The experimental design was the complete randomized block, with split plot scheme, and three replications. In the plot the effect of the herbage allowance was evaluated (4, 7, 10 and 13% of HA) and in the split plot the effect of the grazing cycles (GC). There were evaluated the following variables: height of the compressed sward, forage mass, forage accumulation dynamics and morphogenetic and structural characteristics. An Increase of the compressed sward height was observed with increment of HA. Thus, the increase in the herbage mass was verified. An increase herbage mass after grazing was verified with the GC succession, except for 4% of HA, which kept constant (3181 kg/ha) along GC. The stem elongation rate, was the only morphogenetic characteristics altered in function of HA and, this variable increased lineally with HA. The vegetative tiller density increased lineally with the grazing intensity. However, reproductive and total density of tillers was adjusted to the quadratic model. There was a tendency of larger forage accumulation in intermediate HA (7 and 10%). As conclusion the HA around 8% showed the most suitable for grassland management with Marandu-grassin rotational stocking.
