          Abstract

          Se realizó un estudio en el campo experimental del Instituto de Producción Animal, Facultad de Agronomía, de la Universidad Central de Venezuela, con el objeto de evaluar la fijación de nitrógeno (N) de Leucaena leucocephala, Gliricidia sepium y Albizia lebbeck y su transferencia a una pastura mixta asociada (Cynodon dactylon x Digitaria swazilandensis). Se utilizaron parcelas asociadas de 10x2 m, a dos densidades de siembra (4.000 y 8.000 plantas/ha) y parcelas de gramíneas de 4x5 m, fertilizadas con seis niveles de nitrógeno (0, 50, 100, 200, 400 y 800 kg N/ha). Se utilizó un diseño completamente aleatorizado con tres repeticiones y 11 tratamientos. Se evaluaron las variables materia seca de gramíneas, materia seca de leguminosas herbáceas, materia seca de leguminosas arbustivas, materia seca comestible, materia seca de malezas, rendimiento total de nitrógeno y nitrógeno fijado y transferido. Los resultados obtenidos en producción de biomasa, rendimiento de N, fijación y transferencia de N, evidencian que con estas tres leguminosas es posible sustituir la fertilización nitrogenada en un rango de 0 a 200 kg N/ha. Por otro lado, el factor densidad de siembra tiene efecto solo para L. leucocephala, en cuanto a fijación y transferencia de N se refiere. Además, la habilidad de A. lebbeck de ceder una mayor proporción del N fijado sugieren su potencial para ser asociado con gramíneas con mayor demanda de N, en las condiciones en las que se desarrolló el experimento.

          A study in the experimental field of the Animal Production Institute, Agronomy Department, of the Universidad Central de Venezuela was carried out in order to evaluate the N fixation of Leucaena leucocephala, Gliricidia sepium, and Albizia lebbeck and its transfer to an associate mixed pasture (Cynodon dactylon x Digitaria swazilandensis). Associated plots of 10x2 m were used with two densities (4,000 and 8,000 plants/ha) and grass plots of 4x5 m, fertilized with six nitrogen levels (0, 50, 100, 200, 400 and 800 kg N/ha). A randomized design with three repetitions and 11 treatments was used. The following variables were evaluated: grass dry matter, herbaceous legumes dry matter, dry matter of shrub legumes, edible dry matter, weeds dry matter, nitrogen total yield and fixed and transferred nitrogen. The results obtained in biomass production, yield of N, fixation and transfer of N evidenced that with three shrub legumes is possible to substitute the nitrogen fertilization in a range from 0 to 200 kg N/ha. On the other hand, the sowing density factor had an effect on L. leucocephala only, for fixation and transfer. Also, the ability of A. lebbeck of giving a bigger proportion of the fixed N suggests its potential to be associated with grasses with more demand of N, under the conditions that the experiment was developed.
