    ResumenEn el suroeste extreme帽o los pastos son de producci贸n muy irregular y escasa calidad nutritiva. Tradicionalmente los ga- naderos de esta 谩rea clasifican las zonas de su finca en malas y buenas, realizando fertilizaci贸n fosf贸rica 煤nicamente en parte de las buenas. Con el fin de evaluar la influencia de la calidad del terreno en la respuesta del pasto a la fertili- zaci贸n fosf贸rica, se dise帽贸 un experimento en dos fincas de la comarca de La Serena (Badajoz) consistente en la apli- caci贸n o no de 250 kg ha-1 de superfosfato de cal al 18% en dos zonas diferenciadas seg煤n la pendiente, la profundidad聽 y la pedregosidad del terreno. En tres campa帽as agr铆colas, se analiz贸 la composici贸n bot谩nica, la producci贸n, prote铆na bruta y digestibilidad de materia org谩nica del pasto, tanto en invierno como en primavera. La prote铆na y la digestibilidad del pasto invernal mejor贸 en la zona mala por la fertilizaci贸n fosf贸rica (aument贸 de 15% a 16%), as铆 como el porcentaje de leguminosas que aument贸 de 20% aa 30%. Por tanto, existe respuesta positiva a la aportaci贸n de f贸sforo en zonas clasificadas por los ganaderos como malas, mostrando potencial de mejora de calidad y composici贸n bot谩nica.AbstractIn the southwest of Extremadura pastures show a very irregular production and low nutritional value. In this zone, farmers classified their farm鈥檚 areas in bad and good, and fertilization with phosphate is made only in good areas. In this study we evaluated the soil quality influence on the pasture improvement when phosphoric fertilizer was used. The experiment was conducted in two farms in the region of La Serena (Badajoz), where the main plot was the quality of the soil differentiated based on slope, depth and stoniness, and the sub-plot was the fertilization. Superphosphate of lime to 18% at a rate of 250 kg ha-1 was applied, having a control area without fertilization. This experiment was replicated in three different agro- nomical years, and the botanical composition of pasture, the production in dry matter, the crude protein and the organic matter digestibility of grass in winter and spring were analyzed. Protein and digestibility of winter grass in bad areas were improved by phosphorus fertilization (increasing from 15% to 16%) and the percentage of legumes changed from 20% to 30%. There is, therefore, a positive contribution of phosphorus in classified areas as bad by farmers, showing them an improvement potential regarding to pasture quality and botanical composition
