Improvement Of Native Pasture Productivity Through Introduction Of Various Types Of Palatable Species On Dry Lands In Timor

XML JSON

This research was aimed to evaluate the productivity of native pasture in Timor Island by introducing various palatable
species. The study was carried out on native pasture in Tuatuka, Timor Island for seven months. The study was performed by using
randomized block design (RBD) with eight treatments (S0: no introduction, S1: Cynodon dactilon, S2: Dicanthium aristatum, S3: C.
plectotachyus, S4: Brachiaria decumbens, S5: Desmanthus virgatus, S6: Macroptilium atropurpureum, S7: Clitoria ternatea) with
four replications. Procedures on this study include trial plots preparation, tillers preparation for each species, introduction of species
in trial plots, maintenance and observation of the productivity. Variables observed were forage production (fresh and dry matter
(DM) in ton/ha), nutrient content (%) and stock capacity (animal unit (AU)/ha). Data were analyzed for variance based on RBD and
followed by Duncan’s test. Analysis of variance showed that introduction of species had a very significant effect (p < 0.01) on all
observed variables. The introduction of M. atropurpureum produced the highest fresh forage (2.1 t/ha) and DM production (0.69
t/ha). M. atropurpureum also had the highest DM content (43.61%), nitrogen free extract (52.52%) and stock capacity (1.06 AU/ha).
The highest crude protein and crude fiber content were found in D. virgatus (4.31% and 36.62%). The highest extract ether was
observed in D. aristatum (1.48%). No introduction had the lowest productivity, but demonstrated the highest ash content. The
introduction of palatable species increased the productivity of native pasture in Timor and M. atropupureum was the best introduced
species.
Key words: Species introduction, legume, Macroptilium atropurpureum, native pasture in Timor, forage production, grass, dry land.
