		The first haciendas or estates grew corn, cotton or sugar or raised cattle while the Maya, who were forced to work for their colonial overlords, still cultivated native plants for food, medicinal purposes and to make items of everyday use.
		One such plant is henequen or sisal (Agave fourcroydes), a gray-green agave plant used by the Maya since time immemorial to make rope and baskets.
		The Spaniards ignored this useful plant until the late nineteenth century when agricultural mechanization in the United States created a demand for rope and sacking and the potential of henequen was revealed.

		Agave sisalana is propagated vegetatively from viviparous plantlets that develop high on the inflorescence (flower stalk).
		Another leaf fiber plant in the same family as Agave is the genus Yucca.

		Sixteen young zebu bulls initially of 202 kg were fed on a basal diet of ensiled bagasse of sisal (Agave fourcroydes).
		In the 2 X 2 factorial design the bagasse was given without or with neutralization with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and without or with a supplement of elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum) 20% of total dry matter intake (DMI).
		It was concluded that an alteration in acid-base balance is not the main cause of low intake and hence of poor animal performance on diets based on sisal bagasse.

		Abstract: Extant variants of henequen (Agave fourcroydes Lem.) and wild populations of its putative ancestor A. angustifolia Haw.
		Given that wild populations with desirable characteristics exist and that these characteristics are highly plastic and respond positively to cultivation, then selection and cultivation of populations such as those from Tropical deciduous forest may well have been the path taken by the ancient Maya during henequen domestication.
