Effect of 3 companion tropical grasses in associate with Arachis pintoi cv. Amarillo on dry matter yield and crude protein was studied during April 1996April 1998 at Pakchong Animal Nutrition Research Centre. A randomized complete block design consisting of 3 treatments (T1 = Brachiaria ruziziensis + Arachis pintoi cv. Amarillo, T2 = Brachiaria decumbens cv. Basilisk + Archis pintoi cv. Amarillo, T3 = Panicum maximum cv. Purple + Arachis pintoi cv. Amarillo) replicated 4 times was used. The plants were sampled for DM yield at 60 Days after establishment and at 45 days interval. The result showed that DM yield obtained from mixed Arachis pintoi with the 3 grasses was not significant different (P GT 0.05). Total DM yield were 4,212.62, 4,607.12 and 4,502.75 kg/rai/year obtained from Brachiaria ruziziensis + Arachis pintoi, Brachiaria decumbens + Arachis pintoi and Panicum maximum + Arachis pintoi, respectively. Dry matter yield content of arachis significantly (P LT 0.05) highest when mixed with Brachiaria decumbens which gave 842 kg DM/rai/year. The highest (P LT 0.05) percentage of protein centent was 14.50 percent obtaned from Brachiaria decumbens and Arachis pintoi combination.
