CARACTERIZAÇÃO DE UMA POPULAÇÃO DE PLANTAS DE FEIJÃO BRAVO (Capparis flexuosa L.) NO CARIRI PARAIBANO

Abstract

Aiming at to characterize a population of angry bean (Capparis flefluosa) they were appraised 30 plants of each category (trees, adult pruned and regeneration), disposed to the case in a palm area. They were appraised the height of the plant, diameter of the height of the chest, diameter of the height of the base, presence of floral buttons, florescimento, fructification in you hoist. For interpretation of the results one was used analyzes of variance, with randomized designe consting. The medium height of the appraised plants was of 5,1 m, diameter of the height of the chest of 16,8 cm, diameter of the height of the base 18,6 cm and diameter of the cup 5,3 m. you hoist presented Them floral buttons between January and February, they bloomed between January and March and they fructified between February and March. The chemical composition among the categories presented a medium tenor for dry matter (MS), crude protein (PB), fiber in neutral detergent (FDN), fiber in acid detergent (FDA), mineral matter (MM), organic matter (OM), hemicelulose (HEM), cellulose (CEL) and lignin (LIG), of 49,5%; 15,4%; 54,1%; 35,6%; 8,9%; 91,1%; 18,4%; 27,6% and 7,2%, respectively. The obtained results indicated that the angry bean possesses similar chemical composition the legumes herbage, being considered an alternative for the exploration in consortium systems seeking to the animal feeding in periods of shortage of forage of the area.
