Abstract
O modelo da Zona Agroecologica (ZAE) da FAO foi elaborado para plantas tipo C3 e C4, e ate entao nao foi aplicado para plantas MAC (Metabolismo Acido das Crassulaceas). O desempenho do modelo ZAE foi testado, no presente estudo, na estimativa da produtividade da palma forrageira no estado da Bahia. O modelo foi parametrizado por meio de dados experimentais. Duas modificacoes do modelo foram efetuadas: a primeira pela alteracao do calculo do CIAC - coeficiente de correcao do indice de area do cladodio e a segunda do CR - coeficiente de correcao da respiracao. Avaliou-se o uso das funcoes de plantas C3 de inverno, C3 de verao e C4 na estimativa da produtividade bruta, em conjunto com e sem a modificacao dos parâmetros CIAC e CR. A partir do modelo calibrado, estimou-se a quebra da produtividade e eficiencia produtiva da palma no Estado. O modelo original ZAE apresentou baixo desempenho na simulacao da produtividade da palma. A modificacao do CIAC e a adocao das funcoes de plantas C3 de inverno promoveram os melhores resultados na estimativa da produtividade. Os municipios situados no Centro e Centro Sul da Bahia apresentam as maiores eficiencia produtiva (> 6 kg MS m-3). A B S T R A C T The FAO Agro-Ecological Zone model (ZAE) was developed for C3 and C4 plants, and has not been applied to MAC plants (Crassulaceae Acid Metabolism). The performance of the model ZAE was tested in the present study in the estimation of forage cactus productivity in the state of Bahia. The model was parameterized using experimental data. Two modifications of the model were carried out: the first by alteration of the calculation of CCAI - correction coefficient of the cladode area index and the second of the CR - coefficient of correction of respiration. The use of the C3 winter, summer C3 and C4 plant functions in crude productivity estimation was evaluated in conjunction with and without modification of the CCAI and CR parameters. From the calibrated model, it was estimated the productivity and productive efficiency of the palm in the State. The original ZAE model presented low performance in the simulation of palm productivity. The modification of the CCAI and the adoption of the functions of winter C3 plants promoted the best results in the estimation of productivity. The municipalities located in the Center and Center South of Bahia presents the highest productive efficiency (> 6 kg MS m-3). Key-words: Cactaceae, Calibration, Modelling, Opuntia sp , Yield
