QUINTO, L.; MARTINEZ-HERNANDEZ, P. A.; PIMENTEL-BRIBIESCA, L. e RODRIGUEZ-TREJO, D. A.. Design of a silvo-pastoral system in Huatusco, Veracruz with the application of the Nezahualcoyotl method. Rev. Chapingo ser. cienc. for. ambient [online]. 2009, vol.15, n.2, pp.141-146. ISSN 2007-4018.
This study describes the design and field implementation of a silvopastoril system on a hillside using the Nezahualcóyotl method to establish the tree component made of: Swietenia macrophylla King (Big leaf mahogany, Brazilian mahogany), Tabebuia rosea (Bertol) DC. (Rosy trumpet tree), Cedrela odorata L. (Spanish cedar, Mexican cedar). The field was in the region of Huatusco, on this field five leveled mounds-trenches were done and on the top of the mounds tress were planted every 4 m, tress were previously grown for two months in a nursery. After four months on the field survival rate was not different ("=0.05) among species and higher than 80 %. Animal component of the system was not field implemented it was described and planned only, this component was made of a Brachiaria brizantha pasture and stocker cattle. Pasture establishment was design to be done along with growing maize with a share-cropper. Main costs for the establishment of a silvopastoril system using the Nezahualcóyotrl method were identified and the estimated total was $ 44,347.00 for each 1/3 of a ha. It was concluded that the Nezahualcóyotl method is an option in the establishment of the tree component of a silvopastoril system on hillsides.
