Preliminary grazing trials with Stylosanthes guianensis grass mixtures

Abstract

Grazing trials with Stylosanthes guianensis in admixture with various grasses showed that the legume persisted satisfactorily in association with Para grass and with Kikuyu grass, but was suppressed by various other grasses. The main object of the trial was to observe the behaviour of style under grazing conditions. It appears that the legume shows promise in persisting with only two of the grasses under trial, namely Para grass and Kikuya grass.
