Description:	In animal production, grasses planted in the pasture lands have especial value to improve aggregate value of products. This paper evaluates the effects of applying cattle manure, reactive natural phosphate and biotite schist on soil fertility, yield and nutritional content of Megathyrsus spp. cv. Massai. The experiment was conducted under field conditions, in a dystroferric Red Latosol (Oxisol). The experimental design was randomized blocks with the treatments confounding, with one replicate. The treatments consisted of three rates of natural reactive rock phosphate from Algeria - Djebel-Onk (0, 100 and 200 kg ha-1 of P2O5), three biotite schist rates (0, 150 and 300 kg ha-1 of K2O) and three cattle manure rates (0, 20 and 40 Mg ha-1). The application of reactive natural rock phosphate increased dry matter yield (DMY), however, this effect was not observed for cattle manure and biotite schist. The foliar contents of N, K and Mg (cattle manure), P and B (natural rock phosphate) and K (biotite schist) were significantly influenced by the treatments. The same effect was found forP levels in soil, dry matter of the aerial part, Mg and B content in the dry matter.
