Burning increases the production and cattle preference of weeping lovegrass. A winter burn increased spring and summer herbage yields of weeping lovegrass 14% and utilization 53%. Burning increased crude protein from 3.6% on untreated lovegrass to 7.6% on unfertilized burned plots. It increased crude protein content from 5% on unburned fertilized plots to 10.5% on burned fertilized plots. Forty-four pounds per acre nitrogen fertilization increased crude protein but had little effect on forage production and utilization. /// Weeping lovegrass (Eragrostis curvula (Schrad.) Nees) tiene buena adaptación a varios climas y suelos, especialmente suelos arenosos. Este zacate tiene menor palatabilidad. Este estudio se llevó a cabo en la granja experimental de Texas Tech cerca de Amarillo, Texas, E.U.A., se demostró que puede aumentar la palatabilidad del zacate con quema. La quema durante invierno aumentó la producción de forraje en un 14%, la intensidad de pastoreo en un 53%, y el contenido de proteína en un 3.4%. La fertilización de nitrógene a 44 Kgs/Ha. aumentó el contenido de proteína pero no influyó en la producción de forraje ni en la palatabilidad del zacate.
