Bromatological composition of sorghum, millet plant and midget-guandu at different cut times in intercropping and monoculture - doi: 10.4025/actasciagron.v35i2.15772

摘要

To determine the chemical composition of intercropping and monoculture cultivars of sorghum, millet and midget-guandu, we determined the production of dry matter (DM), ashes, gross fiber, ethereal extract, gross protein (GP), nutritious digestive total, and extractive without oxygen. The experimental design used was completely random blocks with four repetitions split into 18 treatments: monoculture sorghum, monoculture midget-guandu, monoculture millet, intercropping sorghum and midget-guandu, millet and midget-guandu and millet and sorghum, with cutting times at 30, 60 and 90 days after sowing (DAS). Millet had the highest production of dry biomass at 30 and 60 DAS in monoculture and intercropping. The highest DM was obtained by intercropping (90 DAS). Sorghum intercropping had the highest crude protein at 30 DAS, and the midget-guandu promoted increased crude protein at intercropping.
