The increasing demand for cocoa crops requires high quality plant production. Plants grown in containers or pots have limited nursery survival. The space for root growth and sustrate volume in cacao seedlings in a nursery were tested using diverse plastic containers: tubete (0.4 L), bag (1.6 L) and bucket (3.0 L), the treatments were distributed in a completely random experimental design. Leaf number, width, length; ...

Silvopastoral systems must withstand shading and have good nutritional quality. This study aimed to analyze dry matter production, agronomic indicators and nutritional quality in Bothriochloa saccharoides grass, under simulated shade conditions: 30%; 50% and 0% sunlight, the last acting as control. This study was carried out at the "La strella” farm, located in the municipality of Venadillo, Tolima. Biomass production ...
