Evaluación de diferentes Densidades de Siembra del Plántago Lanceolata Asociado a una Mezcla de Especies.

Abstract

In the Guambaló Parish, Pelileo Canton, Tungurahua Province different sowing densities of Plantago lanceolata associated to a mixture of species werw valuated, over a 120-day period of investigation, For this 20 experimental units where the treatments were made up of five forage mixtures, with four replications per treatment, and an experimental unit of 12 m2 (4x3). In the present study it was determined that upon associating different sowing densities of Plantago lanceolata to a mixture of species introduced, the green forage production presented highly significant differences, with treatment T4 yielding the highest production 20.63 Tn / ha / cutting; the dry master production in the forage mixture recorded a productive average of 7.37 Tn / ha / cutting with treatment T4 yielding the highest production 9.09 Tn / ha / cutting. The highest benefit-cost index was recorded for treatment T4 with 1.89 USD and the lowest index was for treatment T2 with 1.27 USD; this is recommended to use the establishment of a sowing dosage forage mixture of k kg / ha of plantain as it presented the best productive response fostering the use of P. lanceolata as an animal feeding source because of the nutritional, medical and productive benefits it offers .
