The integrated crop livestock farming system is an important training and renovation of degraded pastures. However, lack technical information about physiological and sanitary quality of the forage seeds and sowing methods have been suggested as causes of failure in some fields. This work aimed to evaluate the effects of treatment of seeds of Brachiaria brizantha cv. Marandú with the insecticide fipronil (with and without treatment) associated with plant densities (2.0, 4.0, 6.0 and 8.0 kg ha-1 seed) in three tillage systems. Each cropping system was an experiment. In the first experiment was sown with Brachiaria drill multiple, specific for planting small seeds in the rows of corn at depths of two to three inches. In experiment II, the seeds of Brachiaria were mixed with fertilizer used in corn planting, they were deposited at a depth of four inches, distributed along the profile of the furrow. In experiment III, Brachiaria was sown broadcast on the plot after corn sowing. The variables evaluated were dry plants of B. brizantha and maize, the forage ground cover, plant height and number of spikes per plant and grain yield of maize. After the corn harvest the entire experimental area was grazed by cattle until the end of September (beginning of rains), becoming then cleared to a uniform cutting height of Brachiaria. Twenty days after this mowing evaluated the production of herbage and soil cover by B. brizantha. It was concluded that treatment of the forage seeds as fipronil was important only for the seeding set. Seeder for planting with multiple or mixed with seed to fertilizer, the highest forage yield occurred at 365 days after planting, using a 2.0 kg ha-1 seed. While in most broadcast seeding forage yield occurred with 8.0 kg ha-1. However it is noteworthy that all seeding rates Brachiaria above 2 kg ha-1 in the three tillage systems, negatively affecting the productivity of maize.
