Puno: Direct seeding of white clover will be implemented to improve alpaca feed

With the aim of strengthening the feeding and productivity of alpacas, the Alpacas de Color project, executed by the Puno Regional Agrarian Development Management, will implement the direct sowing of white clover as a key strategy for the improvement of grasslands in the highland areas of the region. The intervention includes the sowing of white clover, Huía variety, a species adapted to altitudes between 3600 and 4200 m above sea level, recommended for the Puno plateau, especially in wetland and bofedal areas. For this process, a density of 4.5 kilograms of seed per hectare will be applied, in order to ensure adequate plant coverage and a greater availability of quality forage. During the three years of the project's execution, it is planned to install 801 demonstration modules in a total area of 801 hectares, through the direct sowing system without tillage, which will allow the conservation of the soil and the optimization of the use of natural resources. These actions will be ...
