| dc.description | An experiment to determine the effects of applying the total yearly nitrogen fertilizer to Pangola grass pasture in a heavy soil in three and in four portions was carried out. A mixture of Para grass and tropical kudzu with no nitrogen applications was used as check. Growing dairy heifers were used to measure differences, and the put-and-take system was followed, so that all the roughage was consumed from the plots. Equal amounts of phosphorus (P2O5) and potash (K2O) were applied annually to all the pastures. No statistical differences were found between treatments, indicating that it is probably not necessary to split the total of nitrogen fertilizer into more than three portions in a heavy soil like the Fajardo clay in which the experiment was established. Not taking other management factors into consideration the mixtures of Para grass and kudzu performed as well as Pangola grass. | en-US |
| dc.description | Se llevaron a cabo experimentos para determinar los efectos de aplicar el total del abono nitrogenado por año a pastos de Pangola, en tres y cuatro porciones, en terreno pesado. Un pasto de malojillo y Kudzú tropical sin ninguna aplicación de nitrógeno se usó como testigo para la comparación. Se usaron novillas lecheras para medir las diferencias. Se utilizó el sistema de poner y quitar animales de acuerdo con la cantidad de forraje en las parcelas y de manera que todo el forraje disponible pudiera ser consumido por los animales. Se aplicaron cantidades iguales anuales de fósforo (P2O5) y potasa (K2O) a todas las parcelas. No se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre los tratamientos, lo que indica que es posible no sea necesario dividir la cantidad anual de nitrógeno a aplicarse por cuerda en más de tres porciones en suelo pesado, como el del experimento. Si no se toman en consideración otros factores de manejo se puede decir que la mezcla de malojillo y Kudzú tropical se comportó tan bien como la Pangola. | es-ES |
