Objective: To evaluate the productive performance of forage from hybrid grasses of the genus Urochloa at different cutting intervals and intensities.Design/Methodology/Approach: The cultivars Camello I (GPB025) and Camello II (GPB07) were evaluated at different intervals (5 and 7 weeks) and cutting intensities (10 and 20 cm). The research was carried out under seasonal conditions, from 2020 to 2021. The experimental design was a randomized complete block. The following variables were evaluated: yield of total dry matter (TDM), leaf (DMl), stem (DMs), inf lorescence (DMin), and senescent matter (DMsm); as well as plant height, basal cover, specific leaf area (SLA), and leaf area index (LAI). DMI, DMs, DMin, and DMsm are the morphological components of the TDM.Results: On average, harvesting the forage at a 7-week interval and with a 20-cm intensity results in higher TDM, DMl, and DMs (66, 46, and 85%, respectively) than those obtained when harvesting is carried out at a 5-week interval and with a 20-cm intensity.Study Limitations/Implications: Agronomic management of grasses is a factor that affects forage yield and sward persistence. Cutting grasses at different intervals and intensities generates adequate management strategies aimed to increase yields and sward persistence.Findings/Conclusions: The highest yield of total dry matter in both cultivars —according to their morphological component, plant height, and leaf area index— was obtained when the residual forage was harvested at a 7-week interval and a 20-cm height.
