growth rate (CGR), forage yield, dry matter ((DM) yield and DM content of BrachiariabrizanthaStapf. The experiment
used manure (0 and 5 ton/ha) and nitrogen dosage (50, 100, 150 kg N ha-1) set in factorial design 2 x 3, repeated three
times. The result showed that manure increased chlorophyll content, plant height, CGR, forage yield, DM yield and DM
content. N dosage increased chlorophyll content, plant height, CGR, forage yield, DM yield and DM content. The
interaction between manure and N dosage increased chlorophyll content, plant height, CGR, forage yield, DM yield and
DM content. The result showed that manure usage and nitrogen dosage 150 kg N ha-1 increased chlorophyll content, plant
height, CGR, forage yield, DM yield and DM content in the amount of 27.5; 20.5; 98.4; 68.5; 103.4 and 20.5%
compared to without manure and nitrogen dosage in the amount of 150 kg N ha-1
