Abstract

This trial was conducted at the Estação Experimental de Zootecnia in Piadamonhangaba, São Paulo State, from December 1984 to Jan. 1987. Perennial soybeans (NO 250, NO 254, NO 409 and cv. Tinaroo) and centrosema ecotypes (NO 235, NO 2237, NO 2239 and cv. Deodoro) selected in the Instituto de Zootecnia, Nova Odessa, SP, (except for cv. Deodoro and Tinaroo) were evaluated in Pindamonhangaba, SP, for local adaptation, dry matter production, seasonal distribution and blooming period. Plots of 6.0 x 2.Om were stablished and an area of 4.0 x 2.0m was left for cutting and another of 2.0 x 2.0m for flowering observations. Each introduction was replicated at randon 4 times. Blocks I and II received no lime but were fertilized with phosphorus, potash and molibdenium. Blocks III and IV received lime plus phosphorus, potash, molibdenium, zinc, copper and borum. The data showed that either soybeans and centrosemas had good productions. The soybean ecotype Tinaroo, had the best dry matter distribution throughout the year. Soybeans ecotypes NO 250, NO 254 and all centrosemas must be used for future research in this local.
