Manejo Fitotécnico de Culturas Leguminosas e Oleaginosas

Abstract

The four species of mucuna studied to form this phytotechnical management were: Mucuna deeringiana (dwarf mucuna), Mucuna cinereum (gray mucuna), Mucuna aterrima (black mucuna) and Mucuna pruriens (green mucuna). Mucuna Preta must be sown between 2 and 4 cm deep. The row spacing should normally be 50 centimeters between rows and with 6 to 9 seeds per meter of furrow. Mucuna can be planted alone or in consortium with other crops. Planting consumption varies from 50 to 80 kg of seeds per ha. The population density of this green manure must be 250,000 plants per ha, therefore; 25 plants per square meter.
