Abstract

In an Ultisol, of Instituto de Zootecnia, SP, was developed an experiment split plot design, with three replications to measure the DM production and nutrients removed by three varieties and four corn cultivars, harvested in two cutting heights (15 and 50 cm above the soil surface). The cut height of 50 cm decreased DM production, increased the DM% and grain percentage and didn't alter CP% of NDF%. The silage quality can be altered by the cultivar, because these were different in grain percentage, DM%, CP% and NDF%.
