Abstract

The present experiment was carried out at Instituto de Zootecnia, Nova Odessa, SP, with the aim of studying the agronomic behaviour of eight accessions of Hermathria altissima in red-yellow podzolic soil. From October, 1986 to October, 1988, the plots were cut at an height of 7cm from the ground level, and the content of crude protein(CP) and dry matter (DM) production were evaluated, during the wet and dry seasons. It was evaluated the frost tolerance and dryness resistance of the accessions when these weather conditions occured. From January, 1989 to September, 1990, plant persistence and animal acceptability were evaluated during five grazing periods. Three accessions (NO 2320, NO 158 and NO 1161) can be used in the region because of their high production. Hematria was well accepted by animals and showed good persistancy under grazing.
