ANDRADE YUCAILLA, Verónica; LIMA OROZCO, Raciel; VARGAS BURGOS, Julio César  y  VARGAS HERNANDEZ, Silvino. Current situation and perspective of the multi-use of Arachis pintoi in agro-ecosystems devoted to animal production. Ctro. Agr. [online]. 2016, vol.43, n.3, pp. 80-87. ISSN 0253-5785.

This paper realized an analysis of the scientific literature in which 75 articles were reviewed from indexed Journals in specialized databases and of international recognition about the main aspects reviewed such as the origin, adaptation conditions in areas of the humid tropic, genetic aspects related to the chromosomal markers; demonstrating a big morphologic variability in the germplasms. Inside of the potential uses of major relevancy there was stand out the use as soil coverage and as soil improver, as well as weeds controller, presenting a positive effect in the content of organic matter and nitrogen of soil. The use of Arachis pintoi Frapovickas y Gregory in the animal feeding systems is a resource of high quality; it can be a viable alternative for the animal production systems in the tropic. The impact of some agroecological practices on the agroproductive parameters with the use of A. pintoi is of the important relevancy. It was concludes that A. pintoi presents a potential of multiple use in integrated systems of crops - trees - livestock, constituting an alternative of sustainable management of the tropical animal production.
