Description
An experiment was carried out during two years to study the effect of differed N fertilization on DM and CP yields of pangola grass. A factorial design with four replications was used. N levels were 200 (N1 ) and 400 (N2) kg/ha/year, and the differed systems of application were S1 (after each cut), S2 (at the beginning and at the end of springtime), S3 (at each springtime cut), S4 (at each dry season cut), S5 (75 % of the application at dry season cuts), S6 (25 % of the application at dry season cuts). There was a significant difference (P < 0.001) between the studied factors and their interactions. S2, S3, and S6 produced a marked imbalance between and within the season. S1 showed seasonal imbalance and S4 and S5 produced less grass although these treatments remained constant throughout the experiment. Data showed that the seasonal frame of this plant could be altered by means ofN, and that DM yields of 40 kg/day with 7 % CP or more can be obtained.
