Abstract

The mean dry matter (DM) yields over 3 yrs ranged from 5225-11 530 kg/ha/year and were about half the production of the best species achieved in the inland soil at Serdang but were about two to three times higher in yield than the indigenous Zoysia matrella. A frequency of four-monthly cutting was better than the three-monthly cutting for all the species in terms of DM production plant vigour and plant survival. Plant part component (stem and dead materials) in the pasture swards were strongly related to the rainfall as well as to the total DM yield with the exception of leaf component which was rather independent under such an environment. Plant mineral contents of the six species though slightly lower in their values were sufficient for plant growth and for finishing animal. The performance of species on bris in terms of plant production vigour and survival rate were in the following sequence: Slender stem digit Pangola grass Star grass Signal grass Guinea grass Giant setaria
