“…They observed an RCC of 41 and 48 with wood ash doses equivalent to 150 kg ha-1 of N. The values they obtained were similar to that found in this study, although the RCC response to tested doses increased with N rates above 250 kg ha-1 after the second cut, as noted in Figure 5. Epifanio et al (2019) studied intercropping with Stylosanthes Campo Grand and Paiaguás palisade grass under similar soil conditions during all seasons of the year. They detected an RCC of 36.57 when Paiaguás palisade grass was cultivated alone and an RCC of 42.21 when it was intercropped with Stylosanthes.…”

Nitrogen (N) is a nutrient associated with the development of plant shoots, which makes it a vitally important element for the maintenance and sustainability of pasture. The goal of this study was to evaluate the effects of nitrogen fertilization on the productive and nutritional traits of Urochloa brizantha Paiaguás, as well as the efficiency of digital imaging and the use of a chlorophyll meter in obtaining green color indices. The experiment was conducted in the field on the Escola farm at the State University of Goiás, located in São Luís de Montes Belos, GO. A randomized-block design with five treatments and four replicates was adopted. Treatments consisted of four N rates (0, 75, 150, 300, and 600 kg ha -1 ) in the form of ammonium sulfate. The grass res ponded up to the N rate of 374 kg ha -1 for production-related traits, such as plant height, number of tillers, and shoot dry matter. Maximum dry matter yields were 21,225 and 13,710 kg ha -1 year -1 for the first and second cycles, respectively. Both the chlorophyll meter and digital imaging were efficient in indicating plant N nutritional status. Paiaguás grass responds to N similarly to other Urochloa brizantha cultivars.

“…On the other hand, in the intensity of lenient grazing it is noted that 80% of soil area is covered by tussock sanders and straw (Figure 2B), therefore, it is possible to infer that the management goal adopted positively impacts soil cover, indicating that there will be lower probabilities of degradation and soil losses, and improvements in soil chemistry, biology and physics, as observed by Epifanio et al (2019) who managed pastures intercropped in moderate defoliation intensity, found that the cultivation system raised the organic maintaining soil content, an event that can directly influence carbon deposition in the soil.…”

The diversity of grasses in the intercropping promotes greater soil cover regardless of the grazing intensity used. The aim was evaluated how cultivation systems (monoculture and intercropped) influence the proportion of soil discovered under different grazing intensities. The experiment was conducted at the premises of the Brazilian Agricultural Research Company. The pastures were combined two cultivation systems: monoculture of Panicum maximum cv. BRS Zuri; intercropping of Panicum maximum cv. BRS Zuri, Brachiaria brizantha cv. Xaraes and Brachiaria decumbens cv. Basilisk. Four evaluation cycles were performed, which totaled in 2136 observations. In the contrast between evaluation cycles, it is possible to infer that cycles II, III and IV have a negative effect in relation to cycle I, because after the first evaluation there is an increase in the proportion of soil discovered in the pastures studied. In relation to cultivation systems, the intercropped managed at high grazing intensities impacts negative effects, and it is possible to observe the highest values of uncovered soil, as well as the lowest tussock distribution values. The intercropping of tropical climate pastures has greater soil cover when managed in lenient grazing intensity.

“…On the other hand, the current agricultural systems aim for primary productivity in a sustainable manner, i.e., proposing alternative management strategies that reduce the input of chemical fertilizers in the environment, aiming to promote a balance between environmental factors and economic gains (Epifanio et al, 2019;Fernandes et al, 2020).…”

The mineral nutrition of forage species is essential for the maintenance of sustainable livestock systems, since it can increase animal productivity per area. Panicum maximum is considered nutritionally demanding. However, the behavior of modern cultivars under nitrogen fertilization is unknown. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of increasing doses of nitrogen (N) on the structural characteristics, forage biomass, and crude protein (CP) of cultivar BRS Tamani. The experimental design was randomized blocks, and the treatments consisted of six N doses (0, 62.5, 125, 250, 375, and 500 N mg∙dm-3) using ammonium sulfate (AS) fertilizer, divided into three coverage applications under greenhouse conditions. Three cuts were made from all treatments, separated by an interval of 30 days. The interval between cuts was considered a split-plot effect. There was no interaction effect between the cuts and AS doses for the number of leaves tiller-1 or crude protein. However, there was an interaction effect for the leaf length, number of tillers, and biomass. The use of doses between 280 and 380 mg N∙dm-³ influenced the structural characteristics of the canopy and biomass of 'BRS Tamani' grass. The highest CP value was recorded in the first cut.
