The objective of this study was to evaluate the production potential of the morphogenetic and structural characteristics of grass Andropogon subjected to heights of cuts and increasing levels of nitrogen. The total area used in the experiment was 480 m2 and divided into plots with 9 m² dimensions. The experimental design was completely randomized in a factorial arrangement of 6 x 2 (six doses of nitrogen and two heights of cuts), with twelve treatments and four replicates per treatment, totaling 48 experimental units. The six treatments were combinations nitrogen levels: 0, 100, 200, 300, 400 and 500 kg / ha and two cutting heights 15 and 30 cm. The sections were due to the light interception (LI), where the plots of IL reached 95%. The total forage production (PTF) was influenced (P <0.05) by time interaction and nitrogen levels during the rainy and dry season, the two heights measured cuts, nitrogen doses (200 and 300 kg), provided greater PTF and living tillers (PV). The dose of 200 kg of N showed higher yield sheets (PF) in two heights cuts evaluated with 18,195 kg / h (15 cm) and 17.300kg / ha (30 cm) respectively. The relationship thatched leaf (F / C) was negatively affected by the increase of N, in two heights cuts and periods. The higher N rates showed higher stem productions (PC), dead tillers (PM) and dead material (MM). There was no significant difference (P> 0.05) in plant height at the cut (H) cutting height of 30 cm, since the height of 15 cm in not including nitrogen treatments had lower value in both evaluation periods . There was no effect (P> 0.05) of the waste time on morphogenetic characteristics. In many plants died dry period, thus no growth flux during this period. The N influenced (P <0.05) Phyllochron, leaves the life duration (DVF) and final length of leaf blade (CF). The variables, number of live leaves per tiller (NFV) and number of live tillers (NPV) did not differ (P> 0.05) and the heights of N cuts and doses evaluated. In this sense the grass Andropogon should be managed under lower light interception 95%, and in the heights of 15 cm residue and nitrogen fertilization of 200 kg N / ha, thus expressing its best productive, morphogenetic and structural characteristics.
