Abstract

The productivity of pastures of common guinea grass/legume, ruzi grass/legume and ruzi grass/nitrogen fertilizer was examined over a pe1iod of 2t years using Brahman cross steers grazed at 2 beasts/ac over the wet season and 1 beast/ac for the rest of the year. Consistently inferior Iiveweight gain per acre was recorded from both ruzi grass pastures, although at a medium nitrogen application rate the ruzi grass performance approached that of the guinea grass/legume pasture.
