Abstract
MOREIRA, J.F.M. et al. Nutrients of Brachiaria brizantha and campo grande stylo in monocropping and intercropping systems. Arch. zootec. [online]. 2013, vol.62, n.240, pp.513-523. ISSN 1885-4494. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S0004-05922013000400004.
This study evaluated the nutrient concentration of cultivars Brachiaria brizantha and estilosantes 'Campo Grande' in cropping and intercropping systems under different planting methods, for a period of two years. The experimental design was a complete randomized block, with measurements repeated over time, with four replications which treatments consisted of the following systems: estilosantes 'Campo Grande'; 'Xaraés' grass; 'Marandu' grass in monocropping or intercropped with estilosantes 'Campo Grande' in rows or at broadcast. The evaluations were conducted for two years in fall, winter, spring and summer on the same plots. The results showed that intercropping grass and legume influences the nutritional status of forage improving nutrient concentration. In general, the rows planting provided better nutrient concentrations.
