Comparative biomass study of forage corn(Zea mays L.)

The objective of this book is to present a study based on the comparison of the biomass of forage corn (Zea mays L.) var (Alizerne) in the different agroecological conditions for the feeding of goats: Case of the localities of Bohoc, Colladère, Grand Lathanier and Lapila communes of Hinche and Pignon, 2021 To do this, four (4) experimental plots were set up at a rate of one (1) per locality and with an area of 49.5 m2 each; sown with corn (Zea mays L.). In fact, the studied variables were subjected to variance analysis on R software (5% threshold) determining the statistical differences that exist between the study areas. In relation to the yield in plot Biomass, the results showed a significant difference (P-value = 3.64e-09) with the area of Grand Lathanier for the greatest amount of biomass produced, that is, 6.9838 t/ha-1 followed by Lapila 5.2444 t/ha-1 of Bohoc 4.78586 t/ha-1 and differs very significantly from Colladère 3.9798 t/ha-1 for the least. In the end, this work represents an interesting approach in the extension of the forage crop in Haiti.
