(Portuguese title) Guia pratico sobre arborizacao de pastagens.
L.J.M.Vilcahuaman and A.J.Baggio, 2000 Documentos Embrapa Florestas. No. 49, 15 pp. EMBRAPA
Florestas; Colombo; Brazil
The TREECD abstract states: "This brief guide, written with particular reference to Brazilian practices,
starts by outlining the advantages
and disadvantages of using fodder trees as components of silvopastoral systems. It goes on to discuss
the various types of silvopastoral
systems established in pastures -- isolated trees planted at 20 x 20 m spacing, trees established at
regular large spacings (6 x 6, 8 x 10,
12 x 14 m, etc.), lines of trees established 15-30 m apart and spaced at 3-6 m, closely spaced groups
of trees (2 x 3, 3 x 3 or 4 x 4 m) of
mixed or single species, fodder banks planted at high density (5000-40000/ha). Other topics covered
are the problems and solutions to
planting trees in a pasture in the presence of livestock, criteria to consider in the choice of silvopastoral
system and in the choice of
species (including short lists of species suitable for hot or cool climates), and the economic implications
of establishing a silvopastoral
system."
