Estudio de la incidencia del fósforo en la nodulación de las plantas leguminosas forrajeras en el trópico ecuatoriano

Forage legumes are plants belonging to the dicot family that have the peculiarity of forming structures called nodules in their roots, these are born as a result of the interaction that exists between these plants and the bacteria of the genus Rhizobium that are capable of taking and fixing atmospheric nitrogen, by establishing a symbiosis with plants. Legumes grow spontaneously in the Ecuadorian tropics, it is tolerant to drought and shade; it recovers quite well after burning and short periods of flooding. The highest yield is achieved during the dry season, providing significant amounts of dry matter of good nutritional value. Another characteristic and perhaps the most important that legumes have is that they have high protein contents between 14 - 32% in their leaves and more than 30% in their seeds, they are also capable of sustaining these high protein contents even during the season. dry and also have low levels of fiber, they also store sugars, starches and fats, which make them highly energetic supplements. For the development of this work, bibliographic information was collected from books, magazines, newspapers, scientific articles, web pages, presentations, conferences and technical manuals. The information obtained was made through the analysis, synthesis and summary technique, in order for the reader to learn about the importance of phosphorus incidence in the nodulation of forage leguminous plants in the Ecuadorian tropics. Due to the above, it was determined that phosphorus has a wide importance in the physical-chemical processes that help in the growth and strengthening of the roots throughout their production.
