Four accessions each of Napier grass and pearl millet were grown in the field with three replications in a Randomized Complete Block Design. Data were collected and analyzed on vegetative growth and yield parameters at 10 weeks after planting. Also nutrient composition of the shoot was determined. Napier grass grew more vigorously with significantly higher number of leaf/plant, leaf length and width. Meanwhile, plant height were similar (91.02 -111.95 cm) among the accessions bur for pearl millet IP17862 which had the least (82.82 cm). Napier grass accessions had significantly higher stem girth than the pearl millet. Mean tiller/plant was less than one in pearl millet and between 18.21-31.55 in Napier grass. Total soluble sugar and carbohydrate of the millet accessions were comparable with COM-CO3 and COM-CO4 Napier grass. Pearl millet NGB00551 was the richest in calcium (3.79 mg/g), potassium (0.36 mg/g), iron (0.52 ppm) and Zinc (0.60 ppm), however, IP17862 and COM-CO4 contained highest phosphorous and magnesium respectively. Dry matter percentage (DM), acid detergent fibre (ADF) and neutral detergent fibre (NDF) were higher in Napier grass than pearl millet accessions, but pearl millet accessions had more crude protein than the Napier grass. In overall, forage quality was higher in pearl millet accessions compared to Napier grass.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="es"><p><![CDATA[Resumen Este estudio se realizó para comparar el rendimiento, composición de nutrientes y la calidad de forraje del pasto Napier (Pennisetum purpureum Schumach.) y el mijo perla (Pennisetum glaucum L.) para determinar su preferencia de uso como cultivos forrajeros. Cuatro accensiones de cada una de pasto Napier y mijo perla se cultivaron en el campo, con tres repeticiones en un diseño de bloques completos aleatorizados. Se recolectaron y analizaron datos sobre el crecimiento vegetativo y los indicadores de rendimiento a las 10 semanas después de la siembra. También se determinó la composición de nutrientes de los brotes. El pasto Napier creció más vigorosamente con un número significativamente mayor de hoja/planta, ancho y longitud de la hoja. Mientras tanto, la altura de la planta fue similar (91.02 -111.95 cm) entre las accesiones pero el mijo perla IP17862 tuvo la menor (82.82 cm). Las accensiones de pasto Napier tenían una circunferencia del tallo significativamente mayor que el mijo perla. El brote/planta promedio fue menos de uno en el mijo perla y entre 18.21-31.55 en pasto Napier. Los carbohidratos y el azúcar soluble total de las accensiones de mijo fueron comparables con COM-CO3 y COM-CO4 de pasto Napier. El mijo perla NGB00551 fue el más rico en calcio (3.79 mg / g), potasio (0.36 mg/g), hierro (0.52 ppm) y zinc (0.60 ppm). Sin embargo, IP17862 y COM-CO4 presentaron el mayor contenido de fósforo y magnesio respectivamente. Los porcientos de materia seca, fibra detergente ácida y fibra detergente neutra fueron mayores en las accensiones de pasto Napier que en las de mijo perla, pero las accensiones de mijo perla tenían más proteína cruda que el pasto Napier. En general, la calidad del forraje fue mayor en las accensiones de mijo perla que en el pasto Napier.]]></p></abstract>
