Conteúdo:	Resumen: En un suelo aluvial Typic Torrifluvent del estado de Ceara, Brasil, se evalué la produccién de MS y la calidad de Pennisetum purpureum-Clitoria ternatea solas y en asociacién en proporcién 1:1y 1:2 (graminea-leguminosa) cosechados a 42, 56, 70 y 84 dias de edad y dispuestos en un disefio de bloques al azar con tres repeticiones. La mayor produccién de MS de C. ternatea se alcanz6 con el corte a los 70 y 84 dias, mientras que en la asociacién se alcanzé con el corte a 56 y 70 dias. La introduccién de la leguminosa no aument6 la produccion de MS de la graminea, pero si la productividad y la calidad del forraje total en el sistema. Abstract: The experiment was established at Vale do Curu Experiment Station, in Pentecoste, State of Ceara, Brazil, on an alluvial soil, Typic Torrifluvent, with the objective of evaluating the consorciation of elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum Schum) with cunha (Clitoria ternatea L.) for utilization as green chop. A factorial 4 x 4 in a randomized block design with three replications was followed. Four harvesting intervals, that is, 42, 56, 70, and 84 days, and four cultivation systems, i.e., single cunhé (Cun.S), single elephant (Ele.S), elephant grass with one line of cunhé (Ele.C,), and elephant grass with two lines of cunha (Ele.C,), were tested. The highest dry matter production was obtained with Cun.S at the 70 day harvesting interval. The best harvesting interval for the Cun.S, Ele.C,, and Ele.C,,-was from 56 to 70 days, and for Ele.S was from 70 to 84 days. The introduction of the legume did not affect the dry matter production of the grass, but it did increase the productivity of forage of the system. The consorciation of cunha with elephant grass constitutes a highly recommended practice to increase the productivity and the nutritive value of the pasture.
