dc.description.abstract | The cover crop ππ³π°π΅π’ππ’π³πͺπ’ π«πΆπ―π€π¦π’ L. has been recognized for its high biomass production, nitrogen-fixation, and allelopathic properties. However, extensive studies have not been conducted to assess the behavior of different π. π«πΆπ―π€π¦π’ accessions in Puerto Rico. Studies were conducted from 2008-2009 to analyze the production and response to changes in photoperiod of 16 π. π«πΆπ―π€π¦π’ accessions, as well as π. π«πΆπ―π€π¦π’ performance under different planting densities (10, 25 and 40 lb/ac) and apical treatments (no cutting, cutting at 3, 4, and 5 weeks after planting) with respect to their potential for production of biomass, seed, and weed suppression. Results showed that despite photoperiod changes, the accessions βNigeriaβ, βTexas 374β and βTβai-yang-maβ have potential for biomass and/or seed production in Puerto Rico. Additionally, the highest biomass and seed yields were obtained with a planting density of 25 lb/ac, and apical cuttings did not improve π. π«πΆπ―π€π¦π’ yields or weed suppression. | en_US |
dc.description.abstract | La cobertura ππ³π°π΅π’ππ’π³πͺπ’ π«πΆπ―π€π¦π’ L. es reconocida por su alta producciΓ³n de biomasa, fijaciΓ³n de nitrΓ³geno y propiedades alelopΓ‘ticas. Sin embargo, no se han realizado investigaciones extensas para evaluar el comportamiento de accesiones de π. π«πΆπ―π€π¦π’ en Puerto Rico. Se realizaron investigaciones en Lajas, Puerto Rico, durante 2008-2009 para analizar la respuesta a los cambios en fotoperΓodo de 16 accesiones de π. π«πΆπ―π€π¦π’, y el efecto de densidades de siembra (10, 25 y 40 lb/ac) y cortes apicales (no cortes, cortes a las 3, 4, y 5 semanas despuΓ©s de la siembra) en la producciΓ³n de biomasa y semilla, asΓ como la supresiΓ³n de malezas. Los resultados muestran que en diferentes fotoperΓodos las accesiones βNigeriaβ, βTexas 374β y βTβai- yang-maβ presentan potencial para producciΓ³n de biomasa y/o semilla en Puerto Rico. En adiciΓ³n, la mayor producciΓ³n de biomasa y semilla se obtuvo con la densidad de siembra de 25 lb/ac. Los cortes apicales no mejoraron la productividad de π. π«πΆπ―π€π¦π’ ni su capacidad para suprimir malezas. | en_US |
