Two field trials were conducted in Thailand to determine an appropriate closing cut date (CCD) and rate of nitrogen application (N-rate) to maximize seed yield and seed quality of the two novel cultivars (cv.) of Urochloa spp. (Synonym Brachiaria spp.), cv. ‘OKI-1’ (an open-pollinated tetraploid Urochloa ruziziensis (R. Germ. and C.M. Evrard) Crins originated from cv. ‘Miyaokikoku-ichigou’) and cv. ‘Br-203’ (U. ruziziensis cv. ‘Miyaokikoku-ichigou’ × U. hybrid cv. ‘Mulato’). The following treatments were evaluated in this study: four CCDs (uncut, 15 June, 1 July, and 15 July) and four N-rates (0, 50, 100, and 150 kg/ha). The cv. ‘OKI-1’ showed somewhat differences in tiller number/m2 (TN), fertile tiller percentage (FTP), inflorescence number/tiller (IN/T) and spikelet number/raceme (SN/R) with the CCD, while the cv. ‘Br-203’ showed only in SN/R. However, TN and SN/R were highest for 15 June, and FTP and IN/T were highest for 1 July in cv. ‘OKI-1’. The cv. ‘OKI-1’ showed the highest total seed yield (TSY), pure seed yield (PSY), and pure germinated seed yield (PGSY) for 1 July, followed by 15 June, and the cv. ‘Br-203’ showed the highest TSY, PSY, and PGSY for 15 July, followed by 1 July. Nitrogen (N) fertilization showed a negative effect on TSY for both the cultivars due to the higher N content in the soil. Withholding N fertilizer, a CCD in late-June to early-July and early-July to mid-July is recommended for cv. ‘OKI-1’ and cv. ‘Br-203’, respectively.
