Abstract: The aim of this study is to identify the forage growth, production and quality of dwarf napier grass. The study is conducted for 4 months from August to November 2018. The object of the study is centro legume (Centrosema Pubescens) and dwarf napier grass (Pennisetum Purpureum cv.mott) with various percentages. The study is arranged by using Completely Randomized Design (CRD) consisted of 4 treatments and 3 replications. As for the treatments, P1: 100% centro and dwarf napier grass; P2: 75% centro and dwarf napier grass; P3: 50% centro and dwarf napier grass; P4: 25% centro and dwarf napier grass; P5: 0% centro and dwarf napier grass. The parameters of the study are plant height, leaf area, chlorophyll, number of tillers, dry matter of leaf and stem, Acid Detergent Fibre (ADF), Neutral Detergent Fibre (NDF), crude protein of leaf and stem. Based on the study, it is identified that the intercropping of centro legume and dwarf napier grass is able to affect on the production, quality of dwarf napier grass.
