Zusammenfassung:Among the production factors, adequate fertilization is an important tool to raise the productivity of pastoral systems and consequently increase the share of Brazil in the supply chain of primary agricultural products at the global level. The objective of this study was to evaluate the interaction of nitrogen and sulfur fertilization in BRACHIARIA DECUMBENS: Stapf. The experiment in pots with Dystrophic Oxisol was evaluated in a completely randomized design with four replications in a 5 x 3 factorial arrangement, involving five N doses (0, 100, 200, 400, and 800 mg dm-3) in the form of ammonium nitrate and three S doses (0, 20 and 80 mg dm-3) in the form of calcium sulfate, with a total of 15 treatments. In the treatments with low S dose, calcium was provided as calcium chloride, to ensure a homogeneous Ca supply in all treatments. The results showed that the tiller production and dry weight of green leaves and of stems + sheaths and total dry weight were favored by the combination of N and S fertilizer, while the proportion of dry leaves was reduced. Nitrogen fertilization raised the N contents in green leaves and stems + sheaths and reduced K contents in fresh and dry leaves. The response to S rates in the N content of green leaves was quadratic. A adubação adequada é, entre os fatores de produção, importante ferramenta para aumentar a produtividade nos sistemas pastoris e consequentemente elevar a participação do Brasil no cenário mundial da cadeia produtiva primária. Com o objetivo de avaliar a interação da adubação com nitrogênio e enxofre na Brachiaria decumbens Stapf., foi conduzido em vasos com Latossolo Vermelho-Amarelo distrófico um experimento em delineamento inteiramente casualizado com quatro repetições, arranjado em esquema fatorial 5 x 3, envolvendo cinco doses de nitrogênio (0, 100, 200, 400 e 800 mg dm-3) na forma de nitrato de amônio e três doses de enxofre (0, 20 e 80 mg dm-3) na forma de sulfato de cálcio, perfazendo o total de 15 tratamentos. Nos tratamentos com menor dose de enxofre, o cálcio foi fornecido na forma de cloreto de cálcio, assegurando homogeneidade no fornecimento de Ca em todos os tratamentos. Na análise dos resultados, observou-se que a produção de perfilhos e matéria seca de folhas verdes, hastes + bainhas e total foi beneficiada com a adubação conjunta de nitrogênio e de enxofre, reduzindo a proporção de folhas secas. A adubação nitrogenada influenciou de modo positivo os teores de N nas folhas verdes e nas hastes +
