Abstract

It was developed at the Instituto de Zootecnia, in Nova Odessa, SP, an experiment, using paraquat and glyfosate, to evaluate the drying of the elephant grass forage, with views to the ensilage process. The experiment was in a randomized blocks design with split plot units. Were tested the levels of 0, 400, 800, 1,200 and 1,600 mL ha-1 of the herbicides and the forage was harvest in 2, 6, 10 and 14 days after the application of the products. Although there are outstanding differences in the actions of the herbicides, the results showed that neither one are viable for be used as forage drying in ensilage process, because decrease regrowth and not elevated the dry matter percentage significatively.
