Daftar Isi:
- Cattle production in Yogyakarta Indonesia has been increasing rapidly over the last decade. Therefore, the increase should be balanced by the increase productivity especially the availability of forage feed that is an important factor in supporting the productivity of ruminants. Brachiaria decumbens cv Basilisk and Brachiaria ruziziensis cv Kennedy grass is a source of forage that grows well in Indonesia throughout the year. Lascano and Euclides (2009) stated, some plant varieties Brachiaria such as Brachiaria decumbens cv Basilisk and Brachiaria ruziziensis cv Kennedy had a different response to fertilizer absorption. Marassing (2013) stated, the large amount of fertilizer applied depending on the response of several varieties of grass plants Brachiaria sp. The more complete and appropriate a given nutrient amounts, the better and the maximum result obtained. Miles et al (1996) suggested that Brachiaria decumbens cv Basilisk responds strongly to fertilizer N and P, while Brachiaria ruziziensis cv Kennedy respond well to N fertilizer. Brachiaria grass production would be better if it is conducted with proper and appropriate fertilization dose. Therefore we need to conduct a study on the influence of NPK fertilizer on the growth, production and quality of Brachiaria sp in Yogyakarta, Indonesia.Based on the research results, the addition of NPK fertilizers of 150 and 300 kg/ha can increase dry matter content, crude protein and crude fat. Differences in Brachiaria sp varieties influenced the fresh production, dry matter and organic matter, B. decumbens cv. Basilisk had a dry matter content and organic matter higher rather than B. ruziziensis cv. Kennedy . The interaction between Brachiaria sp varieties and the best interaction of B. decumbens cv. Basilisk with fertilization level of 150 kg/ha. KEYWORD:Brachiaria, Productivity, Fertilizer
