Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book centers on the history and use of tropical kudzu in Puerto Rico, with the author examining its value as a leguminous vine, and how it can play an important role in soil erosion control through the promotion of thick ground cover. Tropical kudzu has shown to be competitive with grasses and other plants, while resisting drought and a diverse range of tropical pests and diseases. The author discusses preferred planting seasons, seeding methods, and preparation of seedbeds. It is suggested that this crop be grown in conjunction with other grasses or pasture to increase protein content for livestock feed. The author also includes a comparison of nutritional content against common Puerto Rican pasture crops.
