Abstract
El trabajo se realizó en la Facultad de Agronomía, ubicada en Paysandú, Uruguay (32º 23’57,86" latitud sur y 58º 02' 42,48" longitud oeste, 61 msnm). El objetivo fue estudiar la respuesta en la producción invernal de un campo natural bajo diferentes dosis de fertilización nitrogenada y ofertas de forraje. El experimento fue conducido en un diseño experimental central compuesto rotacional de precisión uniforme, con dos factores a cinco niveles cada uno: nitrógeno (N) = 0, 44, 150, 256, 300 kg/ha de N y ofertas de forraje (OF) = 4,0; 5,5; 9,0; 12,5 y 14,0 kg MS/100 de peso vivo (PV), distribuidos en dos bloques. Los resultados obtenidos permiten establecer la clara interacción entre el efecto de la fertilización nitrogenada, la intensidad del pastoreo y la composición botánica de la pastura, determinando resultados distintos según los niveles de cada factor utilizado. Existió una marcada repuesta del número de macollos de Bromus auleticus al aumentar la OF de forraje independientemente del nivel de N, que sugiere su baja tolerancia al aumento en la intensidad de pastoreo. Se destaca la capacidad pionera de colonizar ambientes pobres que presentó Stipa setigera, que permitiría la recuperación temprana de ambientes altamente disturbados, posibilitando el incremento de la productividad del sistema.

Summary
Winter Population Response of Two Native Grasses to Nitrogen Fertilization and Herbage Allowance. The aim was to study the response in winter production of a native pasture to different levels of nitrogen fertilization and herbage allowance. The experiment was led in an experimental central compound rotational design of uniform precision, with two factors with five levels each: nitrogen (N) (0, 44, 150, 256, 300 kg/ha of N) and herbage allowance (HA) (4,0; 5,5; 9,0; 12,5 and 14,0 kg MS/100 kg of live weight LW), distributed in two blocks. The results obtained show a clear interaction between the nitrogen fertilization, grazing intensity and pasture botanical composition, determining distinct results depending on the levels of each factor used. There was a strong response in the number of tillers of Bromus auleticus when increasing the HA regardless of the level of N, suggesting their low tolerance to increased grazing intensity.
