Introduction

Forage production in crop-livestock integration is critical for formation of straw, providing ground cover and food for livestock. According to MELLO et al. (2004), this system integrates the two activities with the goals of maximizing rational land use, verticalize and diversify production, minimize costs and add value to products by taking advantage of the features and benefits that provide an activity to another. However, because it is a new system, there are questions regarding to soil compaction effects on later crops and on the amount of waste straw for ground cover.

The consortium of off-season corn with other species is an important alternative for the production of grain and straw. It can enable no tillage planting in the Midwest Region of Brazil (CECCON, 2007). Within this scenario, the establishment of the crop-livestock system using cover crops intercropped with corn is an exploration option, maximizing the productive use of the soil, adding value for grain production and forage for livestock (SILVA et al., 2008).

The Urochloa ruziziensis has been recommended for integrated crop livestock mainly by providing rapid ground cover, have high quality composition, excellent nutrient recycling, facilities in its desiccation and uniform seed production (TRECENTI, 2005). Among the different methods tested in cultivation of off-season corn crop integrated with Urochloa ruziziensis held by BRAMBILLA et al. (2009), the consortium corn plus brachiaria in rows and inter rows yielded the highest productivity of dry straw, favoring ground cover. For BARDUCCI et al. (2009), the best consortium to be used is corn with Urochloa brizantha "Marandú".

Several authors found viability of maize intercropped with Brachiaria forage (currently named Urochloa), indicating that the production of forage dry matter does not interfere in corn yield in crop-livestock integration (PEQUENO et al., 2006; PEREIRA et al., 2009; GARCIA et al., 2010; RICHART et al., 2010). However, other authors found that cultivation of corn intercropped with Urochloa brizantha (BORGHI et al., 2006; BORGHI & CRUSCIOL, 2007; CHIODEROLI, 2010) and Urochloa ruziziensis (PARIZ et al., 2011) promoted lower yields of corn grains.

Deposition of the sowing fertilizer mixed with the seeds of forage species at depths below 5cm allows the delayed germination and emergence, in order to decrease competition with the grain producer crop (KLUTHCOUSKI et al. 2000; FOLONI et al., 2009).

Regarding the depth of seeding of forage plants, the best emergencies of U. brizantha, U. decumbens and Panicum maximum "Tanzânia" were found in the sowing depth of 5 cm (REZENDE et al., 2007). According to CECCON et al. (2008), the best germination of U. ruziziensis were observed in sowings performed between 4 and 6 cm deep, with better performance observed in nucleated and coated seeds. However, in order to have greater potential emergence of U. brizantha it is necessary to sow it 2.5 cm deep in the soil; however, if the seeds are deposited at depths below 5cm, can occur serious stand problems (FOLONI et al., 2009). However, PACHECO et al. (2010) found that there was delay in seedling emergence from 10 cm sowing of the U. brizantha and 8 cm deep for the U. decumbens, U. ruziziensis and species, and that U. brizantha, U. decumbens and U. ruziziensis forage species showed greater capacity of dry matter production (g plant-1 ) up to 8 cm deep.

Given the above, the objective of this study was to evaluate the optimal depth for deposition of seeds of two species of Brachiaria (Urochloa brizantha "Marandú" and Urochloa ruziziensis) intercropped with corn, with emphasis on corn grain yield and straw production.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

The experiment was conducted in 2009 and 2010, at the Experimental Station (FEPE) in Selvíria -MS, of the Engineering College of Ilha Solteira (FEIS/UNESP), located approximately in the geographic coordinates 51º24'W and 20º20'S, with local altitude of 350 meters with 4% slope. The experimental area was classified as DISTROFERRIC RED LATOSOL, with clayey texture (EMBRAPA, 2006). The average annual rainfall is 1,370 mm, the average annual temperature is 23.5 ºC and relative humidity is between 70 and 80% (annual average). The values of these averages, recorded during the experiments, are given in Figure 1.


The experimental design used was a randomized block design with nine treatments in 3 x 3 factorial design with four replications. The main treatments were of two species of Brachiaria (Urochloa brizantha "Marandú" and Urochloa ruziziensis), whose seeds were mixed with corn fertilizer in a treatment control (single corn). Secondary treatments were constituted at deposition of fertilizer in three depths (8; 10 and 16 cm) + seeds of forage (in consortium and control treatment). As reported by KLUTHCOUSKI et al. (2000) and FOLONI et al. (2009), the deposition of seeds of forage species at depths below 5 cm allows the delayed germination and emergence, in order to decrease competition with the grain producer crop.

The plots consisted of seven rows of corn, spaced apart by 0.45 m; they were 20 m long and useful area corresponding to three centerlines of 5 m each.

The corn sowing intercropped with Brachiaria was held on 05/15/2009 and 05/17/2010 (first and second season, respectively) in no-tillage system (NTS), in an area previously desiccated with glyphosate herbicide (2,160 kg i.a. ha-1 ) in total area. The simple hybrid used was the DKB 390 Y trademark, of early cycle targeting at a population of 60.000 plants ha-1, with spacing of 0.45 m, sowing rate of 2.7 seeds per meter (5 cm depth for corn sowing). Corn seeds were treated with Tiodicarbe at a dosage of 600 g i.a. per 100 kg of seed.

The sowing rate of brachiarias was 8 kg ha-1 of certified seeds of "Marandú" and Urochloa ruzizienses with cultural value of 76%, regardless of the form of intercropping. Brachiaria seeds were mixed with fertilizer and packed in the fertilizer compartment of the seeder, minutes before sowing. The sowing depth constituted treatments; these forage seeds were distributed and located below the corn seed. The depths adjustments were made by the pressure of the concentric spring assembly responsible for the depth of fertilizer deposition. Two days after the sowing was performed one application of the herbicide desiccant of contact paraquat (240 g i.a. ha-1 ); its application volume was 200 L h-1, in order to eliminate the seedlings that emerged after the first drying. The seeder used was Marchesan, Supreme model with pneumatic distribution of seeds, configured with furrower of rod type mechanism for disposal of the fertilizer, furrower of double disc for seed deposition and concave compaction wheel, pulled by a tractor of 77.23 kW rated power.

The soil chemical characteristics determined prior to the experiment (2009), according to the methodology proposed by RAIJ (1991), showed the following results: 15 mg dm-3 of P (resin); 20 g dm-3 O.M.; 4.8 pH (CaCl2); K, Ca, Mg, Al+H = 2.2; 12.0; 7.0 and 16.0 mmol dm-3, respectively; and 57% of base saturation. The sowing mineral fertilization was based on the chemical characteristics of the soil, and it was applied 24 kg ha-1 of N, 84 kg ha-1 of P2O5 and 48 kg haof K2O, corresponding to 300 kg haof the commercial formula 08-28-16. Fertilization was performed when corn plants were at the V4 stage, using 72 kg ha-1 of K2O (potassium chloride) and 135 kg ha-1 of N (urea). Before the covering fertilization, the atrazine herbicide was applied (1.0 kg i.a. ha-1 ). To control the larvae (Spodoptera frugiperda) it was performed an application of lufenuron (rate of 15 g i.a. ha-1 ). The water supply was made by the Center Pivot Irrigation System, with a water depth of approximately 14 mm and irrigation interval of 3 days, following the farm management routine.

In the two years of cultivation, the experimental area had soybeans as preceding crop. After the first corn crop intercropped with brachiarias (2009), the area was dried out for soybean sowing. After the harvest of this crop, it was proceeded with the desiccation in total area and then the corn sowing intercropped with brachiarias again (2010).

The corn crops and the brachiarias dry matter were held on 10/20/2009 and 10/19/2010 (first and second season, respectively). The brachiaria dry matter was assessed in the row, collecting only the Brachiaria straw in 2m of three planting rows of each parcel. To evaluate production of grain and dry straw of the corn, it was weighed all plants collected in three rows of 5m of each parcel subjected to mechanical trail. After the trail, the grains were separated, weighed and the values was corrected for the 13% of wet basis. It was deducted the weight of the grains thereby obtaining the weight of the fresh straw. The samples were dried in an oven with forced air circulation for 72 hours at 65 ºC to determine the % of moisture and subsequent calculation of dry matter production per hectare of straw.

Data were subjected to analysis of variance and treatment averages were compared using the Tukey's test at 5% probability. Statistical analysis was performed using the SISVAR program (FERREIRA, 2008).

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Analyzing the results of the Brachiaria and corn dry matter and total straw (Table 1), it is found significant effects in both years for Brachiaria dry matter in different depths and for total straw dry matter in different cultivation systems and deposition depths of corn seed mixed with the fertilizer.

Table 1 shows that the dry matter production of Brachiaria was higher in shallow seeding, and this difference was more significant for U. brizantha in both years. These results are due to shadowing provided by corn plants on this forage as a function of the delay in the emergence of the plants due to greater seeding depth (16cm). Regarding the low dry matter production of U. brizantha when sowing it deeper, this is probably due to lower seed germination and seedling emergence. According to PACHECO et al. (2010), deeper sowings of U. brizantha and U. decumbens result in lower density and stand of plants, requiring thus increasing the density of seeds to achieve the ideal stand of the plant cover. However, this measure implies an increase in the cost of production, what may prevent the use of deeper sowing to delay the emergence of coverage plants in ILP.

PACHECO et al. (2010) found that there was delay in seedling emergence from sowing of 10cm for the U. brizantha and 8 cm deep for the species U. decumbens, U. ruziziensis and P. maximum, and that forage species U. brizantha, U. decumbens and U. ruziziensis showed greater capacity for dry matter production (g plant-1 ) of up to 8cm deep. In a similar study conducted by REZENDE et al. (2007), the highest germination occurred with the seeds of U. decumbens and U. brizantha, being the highest germination observed at depths of 2.5 and 5.0 cm. For seeds of U. decumbens, the lowest percentage of germination was observed at a depth of 15.0 cm.

OLIVEIRA et al. (1996), working with Brachiaria, also observed delay in the emergence of plants as a function of sowing depth, and the distribution of seeds to 10 cm provided a delay of around five days in seedling emergence, enough to lag it in relation to annual intercropped crops. FOLONI et al. (2009), working with different depths of forage sowing, concluded that the best sowing depth in terms of speed of seedling emergence for Brachiaria was 2.5 cm in the soil and that the sowing of 10 cm deep almost prevented the emergence of U. brizantha "MG-5". According to PAULINO et al. (2004), in areas with sandy soils and with the possibility of droughts, sowing at depths of around 4m to U. brizantha "MG-5" is safer than conventional, where the sowing depth is close to 2 cm.

The lower production of total dry straw was obtained at higher sowing depth (16 cm) of cover crops in both years (Table 1). This result was due to the delay in the emergence of these forages which subsequently damaged the light gathering of these plants, due to shading caused by corn that grew faster, so the photosynthetic rate of forage was reduced, resulting in less accumulation of carbohydrates and consequently in lower dry matter production of cover crops.

For cropping systems, note that intercropping corn with independent brachiarias species produced higher total dry straw in single corn, in both years (Table 1). However, in 2009, there was no significant difference between the straw total dry matter production of corn intercropped with U. ruziziensis and single corn. We also emphasize that the dry matter yield of corn was higher than the forages in a consortium, regardless of seeding depth of cover crops. According to BAYER (1996), the annual intake of straw for no tillage sytem in the cerrado region should be 10 to 12 t ha-1.

In the present study, the total quantity of dry straw at depths of 8 and 10 cm, regardless of the forage species, were sufficient to supply the amount of straw to be added annually to the soil surface for maintenance and sustainability of the no tillage system. Regarding forage species, regardless of the depths, the total amounts of straw in the corn intercropping with U. brizantha and U. ruziziensis (Table 1), supplied the annual intake of straw reported by the authors above mentioned.

According to TRECENTI (2005), U. ruziziensis has been recommended for the crop-livestock integration, mainly by providing rapid ground cover, take high quality composition, excellent nutrient recycling, facilities and desiccation in its uniform of seed production. As the U. brizantha, we emphasize that although this plant is affected in the intercropping systems, its recovery is rapid after the corn harvest (PORTES et al., 2000), as with the U. ruziziensis.

Table 2 shows that there was a significant effect in the second growing season for corn grain yield within the different cropping systems.

Intercropping corn with U. ruziziensis and single corn provided higher yields, and both differed statically from the consortium with U. brizantha in 2009, which resulted in lower grain yield (Table 2). This occurred because the U. brizantha is more tolerant to shade the U. ruziziensis, so this forage competed more for water, light and nutrients with corn, to the point of harming the crop productivity. ANDRADE et al. (2004) found that with 50% and 70% of shade, the decreases in rates of dry matter accumulation of U. brizantha "Marandú" were 13% and 60%, respectively, compared to the condition of full sun, allowing classify it as tolerant to shade. It is noted also that the U. brizantha "Marandú" presents more upright growth habit, increased plant height and leaf length in relation to U. ruziziensi. These vegetative characteristics allow better adaptation to low light and increased competition for light in consortium with corn.

These results corroborate to those obtained by CHIODEROLI et al. (2010), who found that for the same region and soil of this study and the corn autumn crop intercropped with U. ruzizienses led to the highest grain yield, differing from U. brizantha, which showed lower values, given the greater interference with corn, irrespective of the method used for sowing. Similar results were found by MELLO et al. (2007), who worked with a consortium of U. brizantha and corn in the same region and soil type, verified the interference exerted by foraging on corn when intercropped in the sowing row and broadcasted in full area on the day of corn sowing. BORGHI et al. (2006) and BORGHI & CRUSCIOL (2007) also reported that intercropping corn with U. brizantha promoted, on average, lower grain yields of corn. However, PEQUENO et al. (2006) found that U. brizantha sown along with corn or broadcast between the rows of this culture at 16; 32 and 48 days after corn sowing did not differ significantly from the yield and green matter of the single corn. And GARCIA et al. (2010) also found that the consortium Urochloa and Panicum with corn did not affect yield components and grain yield in corn cropping in the cerrado region.

The results obtained in this study differ from those obtained by PARIZ et al. (2011), which found that forage (U. brizantha, U. decumbens and U. ruziziensis) broadcast intercropping, highlighting U. ruziziensis provided lower development of corn plants, as well as lower values of yield components and grain yield. According to FREITAS et al. (2005), the corn intercropped with forage, on average, reduce grain yield by 5%.

GIMENES et al. (2008) found that the consortium of corn with U. brizantha, U. ruziziensis and U. decumbens species demonstrated feasibility for densities of 10 and 15 kg ha-1 of forage sowing, and the relative density of 20 kg ha-1, despite being indifferent to the mass parameter of 1,000 grains, negatively interfered on the final yield of the corn crop. CECCON (2007), however, found that plant population of U. ruziziensis did not affect grain yield of corn and its mass production, indicating that smaller populations can be used in order to save on deployment of the consortium.

It is noteworthy that the different results are related to the combination of several factors such as the population of forage, the time of its deployment, the sowing arrangements, the presence of weeds, applying herbicides, soil fertility and water conditions (ALVARENGA et al., 2006).

The corn grain yield was not significantly influenced by deposition depths of forages and fertilizer, in both years (Table 2). KLUTHCOUSKI et al. (2000), MACEDO (2009) and EUCLIDES et al. (2010) reported that, in general, the presence of forage did not affect corn grain yield in the cerrado region, and that the deposition of fertilizer sowing seeds mixed with the forage species, at greater depths, delays their emergence, in order to decrease competition with the crop grain producer. GROTTA (2008), working with three depths of furrowers for opening fertilizer deposition furrows (11, 14 and 17 cm), also found no effect on corn grain yield.

According to KLUTHCOUSKI et al. (2000) and FOLONI et al. (2009), deposition of sowing fertilizer mixed with seeds of forage species at depths below 5cm allows the delayed germination and emergence in order to decrease competition with the crop grain producer. Therefore, as in this study the sowing depths (8; 10 and 16 cm) of forage were lesser than reported above, this explains why it was observed corn grain yield similar to such treatments.

CONCLUSIONS

The two consortiums of corn with Brachiaria produced similar amounts of straw, which are sufficient for the maintenance and stability of the no tillage in this lowland cerrado region.

The lower sowing depths (8 and 10cm) provided higher yields of forage dry matter and total Brachiaria straw.

The consortium with U. ruziziensis resulted in higher grain yield of corn as compared with the U. brizantha in 2010.

The corn grain yield was not affected by sowing depths of brachiarias.
