The aim of this research was to revegetate the disused limestone quarry by introducing dwarf elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum cv. Mott) and annual legumes such as peanuts (Arachis hypogaea L.), soybeans (Glycine max), cowpeas (Vigna unguiculata) and  mung beans (Vigna radiata). The study was conducted experimentally in a disused limestone quarry applying Completely Randomized Design. The research method used was experimental in disused limestone mining in karst Gombong area applying Completely Randomized Design (CRD). Treatment consisted of 6 planting methods with 4 replicates. The 6 treatments research were the followings: RO: Single planting of dwarf elephant grass,  R1: Single planting of dwarf elephant grass + 1.5 kg/m2 goat compost,  R2: Mixture Planting of dwarf elephant grass + legume peanuts + 1.5 kg/m2 goat compost,  R3: Mixture planting of dwarf elephant grass + legume soybeans + 1.5 kg/m2 goat compost,  R4: Mixture planting of dwarf elephant grass + legume cowpeas + 1.5 kg/m2 goat compost and R5: Mixture planting of dwarf elephant grass + legume mung beans + 1.5 kg/m2 goat compost. The measured response variables were plant’s height, fresh yield, dry matter yield and crude protein content of dwarf elephant grass aged 8 weeks. The result showed that the addition of goat compost and the planting method of annual legumes on the disused limestone quarry had highly significant influence (P<0.01) on the increase productivity and quality of dwarf elephant grass. The best method of planting dwarf elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum cv. Mott) on disused limestone mining in karst Gombong area is mixture planting with soybean legumes (Glycine max) and adding the 1.5 kg/m2 goat compost.

<p>Coconut plantation area in North Sulawesi is an ecological basis for cattle but lower in terms of productivity of feed d annutrients. This study aims to improve the productivity of feed and nutrient  for beef cattle development in the coconut palm plantation through the introduction of superior forage P. purpureum Schum cv. Mott. The study was conducted from July 2012 to January 2013, in the Ongkaw Village, South Minahasa Regency, North Sulawesi. Coconut palms used in this study was 50 years-old tall coconuts with planting system of  9 m x 9 m at farmer plantation area. The research followed a completely randomized design with three treatments and three replications. The treatments tested were types of animal feed, which consists of (1). P. purpureum  Schum cv. Mott  (dwarf elephant grass),  Cynodon sp. (native grass), and P. purpureum (forage elephant grass). Planting systems of livestock forage are 20 cm x 20 cm, for Cynodon sp.  100 cm x 50 cm for  both  P. purpureum  Schum cv. Mott and P. purpureum. The first defoliation was done 70 days after planting, after that, the defoliation was done every 45 days. The result showed that the dry weight of animal feed/ha was 15.31 tons, 163.73   tons and 128.21 tons for Cynodon sp., P. purpureum  Schum cv. Mott and P. purpureum, respectively. Dry matter and nutrients of P. purpureum  Schum cv. Mott was higher than that of Cynodon sp. and P. purpureum. The result showed that the introduced P. purpureum  Schum cv. Mott significantly increased both animal feed production and feed nutrients in coconut plantation area as compared to the local forage crops (Cynodon sp. and P. purpureum). The P. purpureum  Schum cv. Mott can adapt to the shade of bearing coconut palms.</p><p>ABSTRAK </p><p>Lahan perkebunan kelapa di Sulawesi Utara merupakan basis ekologi sapi namun produktivitas dan nutrisi pakan rendah.

Relatively short grazing periods in a pure legume pasture can be an alternative for increasing animal performance in medium-quality tropical pastures. Thus, the aim was to evaluate the herbage intake and animal performance of steers grazing dwarf elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum Schum. cv. BRS Kurumi) with two access times [2 h (07:00 - 9:00) and 6 h (07:00 - 13:00)] to an area of forage peanut (Arachis pintoi cv. Amarillo). Twelve steers (219 ± 28.8 kg LW) were divided into four groups and assessed during three consecutive grazing cycles, from January to March 2013. The crude protein and neutral detergent fiber contents were 158 and 577 g/kg dry matter (DM) for dwarf elephant grass and 209 and 435 g/kg DM for forage peanut, respectively. The pre-grazing height and leaf mass of dwarf elephant grass and forage peanut were 94 cm and 2782 kg DM/ha and 15 cm and 1751 kg DM/ha, respectively. The herbage intake (mean = 2.7 ± 0.06% LW) and average daily weight gain (mean = 1.16 ± 0.31 kg/day) were similar for both treatments. However, animals with 2-h access to the legume paddock grazed for 71% of the time, whereas those with 6-h access grazed for 48% of the time. The performance of the steers that were allowed to graze forage peanut pasture for 2 h is similar to that of those that were allowed to graze the legume pasture for 6 h.

THE EFFECT OF SHADING AND NITROGEN FERTILIZATION ON MORPHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF DWARF ELEPHANT GRASS (Pennisetum purpureum cv. mott). This study was conducted to determine the responses of Dwarf Elephant grass  (P. purpureum cv. Mott.) fertilized with different nitrogen levels and at different shading areas. A Completely Randomized Design (CRD) in a Factorial arrangement with 2 factors of nitrogen levels and shading areas arranged as follows: factor A = fertilization levels of P1 = without fertilization (0%); P2 = 200 kg urea/ha; P3 = 400 kg urea/ha; and P4 = 800 kg urea/ha; whereas factor B = shasing areas of N1 = no shading area (0%), and N2 = 70% shading area. Variables measured were including leaf length, number of mature leaves, and plant height. Research results showed that plants needed about 200 kg urea/ha in order to achieve maximum leaf length in shaded area;   whereas  plants  within  no  shading area needed about 800 kg urea/ha to achieve maximum leaf length. To achieve maximum number of mature leaves in open area without shading plants needed about 800 kg urea/ha, and no need for nitrogen fertilization in shading area for plants to achieve such a maximum number of mature leaves. The highest plant height was achieved at the level of 400 kg urea/ha fertilization at open area (no shading), and there was no need of nitrogen fertilization for plants in shaded area in order to achieve their  maximum height. It can be concluded that shading positively contributed to the availability of nitrogen to be used by Dwarf Elephant grass (P. purpureum cv. Mott.). In open area without shading, plants need more nitrogen in the form of urea to produce leaf length, number of mature leaves, and plant height compared to shaded area.Keywords: Fertilization, Shading, Elephant Grass, Plant morphology.

<p>Availability of good quality forage is limited during dry season. Dwarf elephant grass is one of alternatives in providing high productivity and quality of forage. This paper aims to inform morphologhy characteristics, feed quality, and post harvest of dwarf elephant grass. Dwarf elephant grass (<em>Pennisetum purpureum</em> cv. Mott) has different morphology from common elephant grass (<em>P. purpureum</em>). It has several advantages compared to common elephant grass in term of faster growth and regrowth rates, high of leaf and stem ratio, protein content, and dry matter production. This grass is suitable for grazing and cut and carry system. This grass is also suitable for ruminant feed as silage or hay. Processing of dwarf elephant grass using fermentation technology is recommended during over production period, for further use during drought and limited forage availability.</p>
