Abstract

The effects of utilization systems, planting methods and type of grasses on pasture production of centro and hamata mixed with ruzi and para were assessed in a field trial. Grasses and legumes establishment and survival were measured. The results showed that there were no significant effects of utilization systems (cutting vs grazing) and type of grasses (Ruzi vs Para) on plant density. Planting methods had a mark effect on plant density. Both ruzi and para tiller number were increased with mixed planting. This effect also observed with centro. On the other hand stripped planting enhanced seedling establishment, seedling regeneration and survival of hamata better than mixed planting.
