Abstract

Experimental data from grazing trials carried out in four different regions of the State of So Paulo, Brazil, were economically evaluated. Values related to the grass-legume association, optimum stocking rate and net return per unit of area were stablished for each region. Economic analyses methodology was based on one equation that takes into account biological and economic variables. The most important grass-legume associations were respectively: a) for the north region: jaragua grass + siratro; green-panic + centro and guinea€”grass cv. IZ.- 1 + cianova perennial soybean; b) for the central Cerrado region: transvala grass, even as a single species; e) for the southeast region: green-panic + calopo and makueni + capitata stylo; d) for the south region: guinea grass + silverleaf desmodium.
