- Abstract
The study was carried out in Montecillo, Texcoco, Estado de México, from September 2014 to September 2015. The objective was to estimate the fodder potential of Lotus corniculatus L., with different management strategies, depending on the percentage of light intercepted (LI) and a fixed cut (FC) defined seasonally. The treatments were established in a random block design, with three repetitions. Between treatments, no differences were present in the annual accumulation of fodder, or in the different seasons, except for fall, when the FC yielded 43 % less than the 100 % LI (3,386 vs 5,922 kg MS ha-1). In the botanical and morphological composition, between treatments, only the stem presented differences in annual accumulation. The leaf contributed 53 % of the annual yield, followed by the stem (32 %), dead material (8 %), and weeds (7 %), with higher yield in spring and lower in fall. The highest values of annual average height were found with 100 % of LI with 26 cm, mainly in spring and summer, while those of lowest value were found in the FC with 23 cm, in winter. L. corniculatus (cv: 260012) responds adequately when it is harvested at percentages of light interception and fixed cutting, where the leaf is the one that contributes most to the yield, primarily in spring, where there is a relation with higher plant height.
