This work had the objective to evaluate the forage potential of Paspalum dilatatum Poir. biotype Virasoro and Festuca arundinacea Schreb., an exotic species in the southern regions of Brazil. The individual plant shoots were harvested for twelve months, cultivated in the field, and evaluated as for the dry matter availability (DMA), crude protein (CP) and neutral and acid detergent fiber (NDF and ADF). The virasoro showed seasonal cicle, with the maximum DMA in the spring/summer period (98 g DM/plant), while […]
