Abstract

Farmers have great challenges to obtain pastures of good quality, productivity and greater profitability.
With this, we sought resources available in rural properties that could be potentialized
for forage fertilization purposes, reduce costs and without aggression to the environment. The
experiment was carried out with the implantation of the ryegrass and foal ryegrass cultures in a
4x4 size sequential blocks design in three replicates. After 45 days, the experimental treatments
with biofertilizer and cow urine were carried out, applying percentages of (0,5,10,20,30,40), in
order to observe which percentage would present the best response. After 25 days, the material
was collected, weighing the MV and analyzed the dry mass. The results showed that the
highest green mass yields were achieved with 20% biofertilizer and 30% cow urine.
