Soil Management and Crop Yield

The choice of a forage species is one of the most important factors when raising ruminants as a source of income. The objective of this study was to analyze the growth and development of Manihot seedlings as a function of different diameters and lengths of manioc subjected to irrigation in the municipality of Serra Talhada-PE, in the Brazilian semi-arid region. The plant material used for propagation analysis was the maniçoba forage species (Manihot glaziovii Müll. Arg.). The experimental design was completely randomized, in a 3x3 factorial arrangement, with three diameters of maniva (2.0; 3.0 and 4.0 cm) and three lengths of maniva (10; 15 and 20 cm), with eight replications. The analyzed characteristics were: number of shoots, length of shoots and number of leaves. Manihot glaziovii Müll. Arg. seedlings can be produced by asexual propagation, using mantras with a diameter of 3.0 cm and a length of 15 to 20 cm. The use of vegetative propagation presents a good sprouting rate, thus aiding in the propagation of the species.
