Description:	the effects of fertilizer nitrogem and legume nitrogem on yield and quality of three tropical grasses, a legume and grass-legume associations was evaluated in 1984 and 1985. The grasses were of "Pensacola" bahiagrass (Paspalum notatum flugge.), tifton "Hybrid-81" bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon(L.) Pers.], and "Survenola" digitgrass (Digitaria X umfolozy Hall) and the legume was "Florigraze" rhizoma peanuts (Arachis glabrata Benth.). Nitrogem ferlization resulted in increased yields of hidh quality forage in pure stands of tropical grasses. The association of tropical grasses with rhizoma peanuts resulted in encreased crude protein content of the grass componenr and increased yields of higher quality forage inthe associations. The ability of tropical grasses to compete with rhizoma peanuts was substantially increased by N fertilization, resulting in balanced associations of the legume with bermudagrass and digitgrass.
