Evaluation of the effect of fodder tree leaflitter and earthworms on sorghum growth in the greenhouse.
Under greenhouse conditions we analyzed the effect of litter quality of the arboreal species Diospyros cuneata, Bursera simaruba, Caesalpinia gaumeri, Randia longiloba, Gymnopodium floribundum and Piscidia piscicula, and inoculation of the earthworm Dichogaster bolaui, on sorghum growth. Plastic pot...

description | Under greenhouse conditions we analyzed the effect of litter quality of the arboreal species Diospyros cuneata, Bursera simaruba, Caesalpinia gaumeri, Randia longiloba, Gymnopodium floribundum and Piscidia piscicula, and inoculation of the earthworm Dichogaster bolaui, on sorghum growth. Plastic pots were used containing 2 kg of soil, 100 g of foliage of each plant and 1.2 g of earthworms. The experimental design was completely randomized and the data submitted to ANOVA and principal components analysis to study the relationships between litter quality, sorghum growth and earthworm biomass. The foliage of B. simaruba and G. floribundum that have higher phosphorus favored the higher sorghum biomass, with or without earthworms, although plant heights were correlated with higher ratios of Detergent Fibre/N. Earthworm inoculation increased total biomass and the height of the sorghum plants. The foliage of R. longiloba and C. gaumeri favors the populations of D. bolaui but not sorghum plant growth. In the group of treatments with earthworms, the foliage of P. piscipula and D. cuneata supported favorable populations of earthworms, but did not benefit sorghum growth. |

Evaluación del efecto del follaje de árboles forrajeros y oligoquetos en el crecimiento del sorgo en condiciones de invernadero.

Under greenhouse conditions we analyzed the effect of litter quality of the arboreal species Diospyros cuneata, Bursera simaruba, Caesalpinia gaumeri, Randia longiloba, Gymnopodium floribundum and Piscidia piscicula, and inoculation of the earthworm Dichogaster bolaui, on sorghum growth. Plastic pots were used containing 2 kg of soil, 100 g of foliage of each plant and 1.2 g of earthworms. The experimental design was completely randomized and the data submitted to ANOVA and principal components analysis to study the relationships between litter quality, sorghum growth and earthworm biomass. The foliage of B. simaruba and G. floribundum that have higher phosphorus favored the higher sorghum biomass, with or without earthworms, although plant heights were correlated with higher ratios of Detergent Fibre/N. Earthworm inoculation increased total biomass and the height of the sorghum plants. The foliage of R. longiloba and C. gaumeri favors the populations of D. bolaui but not sorghum plant growth. In the group of treatments with earthworms, the foliage of P. piscipula and D. cuneata supported favorable populations of earthworms, but did not benefit sorghum growth. Bajo condiciones de invernadero se analizó el efecto de la calidad del follaje de las especies arbóreas Diospyros cuneata, Bursera simaruba, Caesalpinia gaumeri, Randia longiloba, Gymnopodium floribundum y Piscidia piscicula, y de la lombriz de tierra Dichogaster bolaui en el crecimiento del sorgo. Se usaron cubetas de plástico conteniendo 2 kg de suelo, 100 g de follaje de cada especie y 1.2 g de lombrices. El diseño utilizado fue completamente al azar y los datos se analizaron con análisis de varianza y con un análisis de componentes principales para conocer la relación entre la calidad del follaje, el crecimiento del sorgo y la biomasa de lombrices. El follaje de B. simaruba y G. floribundum que aportaron las mayores cantidades de fósforo favorecieron la mayor producción de materia seca del sorgo, con o sin lombrices, aunque las mayores alturas de esta planta se correlacionaron con contenidos altos de Fibra Detergente/N. La aplicación de lombrices ocasionó un aumento de la biomasa total y la altura de las plantas de sorgo. El follaje de R. longiloba y C. gaumeri favorece a las poblaciones de D. bolaui pero no el crecimiento del sorgo. En el grupo de tratamientos con lombrices, el follaje de P. piscicula y D. cuneata mantuvo poblaciones favorables de lombrices, pero no beneficiaron el crecimiento del sorgo.
