Description:	Intensive corn silage production in tropical regions, particularly within Brazil’s Cerrado, often leads to rapid soil degradation due to excessive nitrogen removal, biomass extraction, and consequent depletion of organic matter. In the absence of sustainable management practices, these systems suffer declines in fertility and resilience that undermine long-term productivity. This study investigates whether intercropping corn with Brachiaria grass (Urochloa ruziziensis), combined with strategic nitrogen fertilization, can improve soil structure, enhance soil organic carbon stocks, and stimulate microbial activity while maintaining high silage yields.
