Ninety-three days after the emergence, the ensilage of fodder was made. The dry matter production presented a variation of 3.6 to 10.2 t/ha. ln fresh fodder the concentration of macronutrients was: N = 1,54 to 1,96'%; P = 0,11 to 0,21%; K =' 1,10 to 3,63%; Ca = 0,12 to 0,27% and Mg = 0,07 to 0,17%. The concentration in the silage was: N = 1,13 to 2,13%; P = 0,09 to 0,22%; K = 1,53 to 3,40%; Ca = 0,09 to 0,23% and Mg = 0,09 to 0,21%. The pH ranged 3,74 to,4,35 so the silage can be classified of excellent quality.porAcesso AbertoArtigo
