Description
Production strategy of livestock in Cuba is based upon the utilization of swards as the main feeding source. Nevertheless, the climatical conditions that exist in certain period of the year lead to a seasonal productive unbalance due to the decreasing sequence of rainfall. Several alternatives have been adopted against this situation and one of them is the utilization of temporary cultivars. Taking into consideration the previous situation, the possibility of spreading Lablab purpureus, the suitable growth that it presents under temperatures among 18-30 °C (Duke, 1983), rainfall among 200-2500 mm (National Academy of Science, 1979) and its seed production from I to 2,6 t/ha (Wood, 1981) the following studies were made in order to estimate its agricultural behaviour under Cuban conditions.
