“…[17] found similar masses for Xaraes pastures under post-grazing conditions evaluated in summer with values of 1,410 and 1,490 kg•ha −1 for stems and dead material, respectively. Considering that livestock sector uses palisade grass (70%) as the main source of food for livestock and Marandu cultivar is the predominant source of animal diet (approximately 95%) of animals slaughtered in Brazil [3], it becomes clear the importance of studies involving these cultivars. Based on the evaluated structural characteristics assessed in our study, the palisade grass cultivars presented similar adaptation to management in CLIS.…”

“…The CLIS has the recovery of degradation pasture as the first benefit. It is supported by the fact that in Brazil we currently have 174 million hectares of cultivated pastures, and 60% of those are degraded or in the degradation process [3]. Thus, CLIS has drawn attention due to its advantages compared to only agriculture or livestock farming systems.…”

Crop-livestock integrated systems have been identified as an excellent option to use land efficiently. This study investigates how the intercropping between corn and three palisade grass cultivars affects the species productivity and the physiological and structural characteristics of swards grazed under 95% light interception under mob stocking. Evaluations were performed before corn harvest and during three grazing cycles. Similarity between the cultivars on the proportion of corn morphological components has shown that none of the studied forage plants had influence on the growth of corn. The crop-livestock integrated system with corn modified the proportion of palisade grass cultivars' morphological components, promoting the development of Xaraes cultivar. In the pre-grazing in the grazing cycles, considering 95% of light interception the Xaraes cultivar showed higher height (0.47 m) compared with Marandu (0.37 m) and similar to Piata (0.42 m). Forage density was higher in the second grazing cycle only when the forage mass was also greater with greater contribution of both leaves and stems compared to the other cycles. Mass of leaves, stems and dead material was similar between the cultivars both pre-and postgrazing. The corn and forage intercropping did not affect the growth and development of palisade grass pastures and it is a viable alternative for the crop-livestock integrated system. Corn production is not affected by the palisade grass cultivars but production can be affected by environmental conditions mainly rainfall. The Marandu, Xaraes and Piata cultivars can be recommended for integration farming system in crop-livestock integrated system and are recommended for sward managed under 95% light interception and 15 cm high residue.
