Establishment of paiaguas palisadegrass in monoculture or in an integration system with other crops

Abstract The objective of this study was to evaluate the productive and structural characteristics Paiaguas palisadegrass established in monoculture intercropped with agricultural crops 2018 2019. evaluated treatments were: (PP) monoculture, PP maize, sorghum, soybean. experimental design used a randomized block, 4 replications (plots 160 m²). Sward height, tiller density, dry mass production, bulk density total matter, leaves, stems, dead material were evaluated. data analyzed using Tukey test at 5% probability. higher intercropping than monoculture. maize showed lower productions mass, leaf blade, stems. percentage blades soybean Higher percentages stems registered sorghum In general, heights found smaller when maize. highest densities observed lowest sorghum. Intercropping reduces production palisadegrass. accompanying alter composition forage produced by
