Relación entre las características de crecimiento y la composición bromatológica del Botón de Oro (Tithonia diversifolia) y Quiebra Barriga (Trichanthera gigantea) en la Estación Experimental El Padmi, Zamora Chinchipe

The present study was carried out to determine the relationship between growth characteristics and proximate composition of Tithonia diversifolia and Trichanthera gigantea under the edaphoclimatic conditions of the southern Ecuadorian Amazon. Data generated from previously established crops at the experimental station "El Padmi" of the National University of Loja were used; with the help of the statistical program Infostat (Version 2021), correlation coefficients were determined and prediction equations were developed for the variables under study. The results showed that cutting age significantly affects the agronomic characteristics and chemical composition of the two species under study. The correlation between cutting age, plant height, stem weight, leaf weight, plant weight, dry matter content, FDN, FDA and lignin was direct or positive, with r values greater than 0.72; while, with the content of ash and crude protein (PC) a negative or inverse correlation was observed with values greater than -0.89. The regression analysis showed a linear trend, which allowed the development of prediction models for some growth indicators and chemical composition of these species, under the edaphoclimatic conditions of the southern Ecuadorian Amazon. It is concluded that cutting age directly influences growth characteristics and chemical composition, constituting an important tool to contribute to improving the management and use of these species in the region.
