Abstract

The diverse range of grasses found in the native grasslands of the pampas, hillsides, and mountain ranges at different altitudes of the plateau constitute the staple food of high-altitude cattle. To determine their effect on the recovery of deteriorated native grassland on a hillside, the effect of bovine slurry levels (0% control, 20%, 40%, and 60%) on cover, frequency, density, vegetation vigor, and dry matter yield was evaluated using the quadrant method. For plant species, the dotted-line intersection method was used. DM data were analyzed using a DBCA. Recovered plant species were determined by calculating the minimum area. The most notable botanical families were Asteraceae (37.5%) and Poaceae (20%). The NPK content of the slurry used was low, but it had a high Fe content and an alkaline pH. The results showed differences between the levels of bovine slurry in plant cover, density, vegetation vigor, and dry matter yield; a greater than 30.68% increase in plant cover was recorded with treatment 3 (60%). This means that the recovery of the overgrazed native grassland is possible with liquid slurry fertilization.
