Ecological restoration in pasture areas with direct seeding

The use of direct seeding in projects for the recovery degraded areas has stood out some regions country because its effectiveness, lower operating costs, and ease implementation. Thus, present study aimed to evaluate potential haul ecological restoration a deactivated pasture dominated by Urochloa brizantha, here characterized an invasive weed plant. experiment consisted eight treatments resulting from different combinations seeds (tree herbaceous cover crops), break dormancy tree species (with without), types substrates (clay sawdust). tested did not affect seedling emergence, survival, or initial growth. most established area were Piptadenia gonoacantha, Mabea fistulifera, Dalbergia nigra, Senegalia polyphylla, which could potentially compose list be used forest through sowing techniques. Plant survival at end evaluation period every three months until 14 implementation corresponded density equivalent 4300 plants per hectare, this result compared other techniques, shows muvuca as technique viable under study. However, further studies using higher seed densities are necessary control grass brizantha effectively.
