Description
Nitrogen (N) is the most important nutrient for growth and development of pasture, giving the plant a faster growth rate and greater production (Roma et al. 2012). Despite proven effectiveness, there is restriction on its use by farmers due to high cost. On the other hand, the legume Estilozantes Campo Grande (Stylosanthes spp. (80% S. capitata + 20% S. macrocephala), capable of fixing nitrogen atmospheric has become a promising plant, as shown by the work of Ribeiro et al. (2011). However, there is still a lack of information about its use in association with grasses for animal production.
This study aims to evaluate livestock grazing in tanzânia grass (Panicum maximum Jacq cv. Tanzania-1) fertilized with nitrogen or grown Estilozantes Campo Grande (Estilozantes CG).
