description | ln the province of Chimborazo, Riobamba canton, and San Pedro of Abras neighborhood (Ecuador) an ecological restoration on the soil was studied by applying different levels of charcoal (10, 20 and 30 tha") and its effect on the alfalfa Medicago sativa forage production was evaluated, under a block design completely randomized. The best results were obtained by applying 30 t.ha'“ charcoal, in this way: In the first cut was reached the lowest flowering time occurrence (40,50 days) the highest basal coverage (39,35%) and highest aerial coverage (86,0%) the best height (87,98 cm) and the highest numbers of leaves per stem (103,45) and above all the highest forage production, both in green material (15,80 t.FV"ha" cut) as in dried one (33,38 t.MS'“ha'l year). In the second cut was achieved the best basal cover (86,55%) and aerial (95,42%) as well the largest production in green forage (15,92 t.ha'lcut), and in dry matter (33,70t.MS'lha'l year). The economical analysis registered the highest profitability with the 30 t.ha'“ of charcoal cost-benefit of$ 1,63.lt’s recommended to apply in Medicago sativa 30 t.ha" of charcoal, because with it a larger amount of green forage by cut was obtained and improved the soil quality, which will guarantee to obtain economic returns that benefit the agricultural and livestock producers. |

En la provincia de Chimborazo (Ecuador), cantón Riobamba, barrio San Pedro de las Abras, se realizó el estudio de restauración ecológica del suelo mediante la aplicación de diferentes niveles de carbón vegetal (10, 20, y 30 t.ha-1) y se evaluó su efecto en la producción forrajera de alfalfa Medicago sativa, bajo un Diseño de Bloques Completamente al Azar. Los resultados superiores se obtuvieron al aplicar 30 t.ha-1 de carbón vegetal, así: en el primer corte se alcanzó el menor tiempo de ocurrencia a la floración (40,50 días), la mayor cobertura basal (39,35 %), la mayor cobertura aérea (86,0%), la mejor altura (87,98 cm), el mayor número de hojas por tallo (103,45) y, sobre todo, la mayor producción en forraje, tanto en materia verde (15,80 tFVha-1corte) como en seca(33,38 tMSha-1año), y en el segundo corte se alcanzó la mejor cobertura basal (86,55%)y aérea (95,42%), así como la mayor producción en forraje verde (15,92 t.ha-1corte) y en materia seca (33,70 t.ha-1 año). El análisis económico registró la mayor rentabilidad con30 t.ha-1 de carbón vegetal con un beneficio-costo de 1,63. Se recomienda aplicar en Medicago sativa, 30 t.ha-1 de carbón vegetal, por cuanto con esa cifra se obtuvo mayor cantidad de forraje verde por corte y se mejoró la calidad del suelo, lo que garantizará obtener rentabilidades económicas que beneficien a los productores y ganaderos, además de mejorar la calidad de los suelos.
