Abstract

The central American dry tropics habitat is in danger, and part of it are the natural grass that covers the mayor parts of the area, represented in a total of a 46% (18.4 million of hectares) being one of the world’s most important (Kaimowitz D. 1996) pasturage and are the base of the bovine production in the region. The Objective of this job is to determine the effect of the different intensities of the cutting and the photosynthetic activities, in the growth of the Paspalum Natatum. Getting as a result that the intensity of the cut that provides the mayor growth of the Paspalum Natutum is the medium intensity, showing the frequency and intensity of the cutting and the photosynthetic radiation, it is reflected in the growth on itself.
