dry matter yield per hectare per year and to suppress weed invasion from Panicum maximum pasture. The dry matter yield, weed DM and total herbage dry matter yield were generally increased with incremental application of fertilizer-N. A combination of 10 cm cutting height with 400 Kg N ha-1 significantly (P < 0.05) gave higher grass dry matter yield in 2008 compared with where 5 cm height was used with zero fertilizer application.
