Production of postures and establishment of new plantations of coffee in the solid based Guamuhaya in the use of species of green manures
Main Article Content
Abstract
The work was developed in areas of the Empresa Agrofores- tal Jibacoa, Villa Clara province, in a Brown Gleyed soil with the objective to determine the feasibility to produce postures and to establish plantations of coffees with the employment of green manures. In both cases the used species were: Sorghum vulgare, Crotalaria juncea, Canavalia ensiformis and Dolicho lablab, sowed to beginning of the spring, the experiment of production of postures was developed to full solar exhibition, with 70 % of illumination. To the 70 days after being sowed were evaluated the contributions of dry phytomass and nutriments of each species; then, was proceeded to the cut, cutting and incorporate in situ. In the first experiment the phytomass contributions showed the following order: Sorghum vulgare > Crotalaria juncea > Canavalia ensiformis > Dolicho lablab, in the second experiment: Canavalia ensiformis > Dolicho lablab > Crotalaria juncea > Sorghum vulgare. A marked influence of the illumination was appreciated on the development of the studied species; with the use of the Sorghum vulgare, Crotalaria, juncea or the Canavalia ensiformis, supplemented with the inoculation of an effective stump of HMA development values were reached in the postures of similar coffees to the one achieved in the treatment recommended in the technical norms. With the use of the Canavalia ensiformis incorporated in the soil before planting the coffees values of development similar morphological were achieved those reached in the production witness.
