There exists a lack of information about the fertilization of forages plants when the seeds production is the final purpose. Thus the study of influence of nutrients doses is necessary for increase the productivity and to obtained seeds with superior quality. Two experiments were carried out to evaluate the influence of effect of doses of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium on the quality and seed production of koronivia grass. The experimental design used in the two experiments was a randomized blocks replicated with four repetitions. In the first experiment was used four nitrogen doses (0, 100, 200 and 400 Kg/ha) and four potassium doses (0,100, 200 and 400 Kg/ha) and in the second experiment was used three nitrogen doses (0, 100 and 200 Kg/ha) and three phosphorus doses (0, 50 and 75 Kg/ha). The seeds harvest was accomplished 24 days after beginning of the emergency of the flowers (from 5 to 10 flowers/m²). The seeds were counting and weighted. The results evidenced the effect (P <0,05) of the nitrogen fertilization in the production, in weight and in number, and quality of seeds, however the fertilizatin with phosporus and potassium didn't show any effects.
