SANCHEZ HERNANDEZ, Miguel Ángel et al. Kochia-mesquite agroforestry system established in soils Irrigation District Tulancingo, Hidalgo, Mexico. Rev. Mex. Cienc. Agríc [online]. 2016, vol.7, n.spe16, pp.3207-3217. ISSN 2007-0934.

In the Irrigation District 028 (DR028) Tulancingo, Hidalgo, for more than 50 years ago farmers use wastewater to irrigate forage crops. Specifically, in the common San Nicolás Cebolletas, whose main problem is the cost of pumping for irrigation, and the common Santa Ana, where the salinity of the soil begins to be evident in some plots. This work was proposed objective characterize physically and chemically (according to the NOM-021-RECNAT-2000) soil to establish an agroforestry system with a timber species and suitable to the conditions of the agricultural area. In parallel, participatory workshops to engage and consider the opinion of producers in the selection of species were performed. The results showed that the soils have nutritional deficiencies, but thepercentages of organic matter (MO), the content of inorganic nitrogen (N) and heavy metals were low, the soil texture was frank. Under these conditions, it was proposed to establish the agroforestry system (kochia-mesquite) under the design of trees in boundaries. According to the results of both the soil analysis and the cost of installation (5 890 pesos) and yield (46.7 t ha-1), it was concluded that agroforestry plantation (kochia-mesquite) is technically acceptable for this soil types, inadditionto showing environmental and economic benefits.

Palabras llave : alternative production; forage production; soil salinity.
