Leaf assimilates are exported to plant organs (sinks) in variable pattern according to several factors such as: plant developmental stage, leaf insertion level, intensity of defoliation. The distribution of single leaf assimilates to different fractions of Mombaçagrass plant was assessed as a function of several factors. The factors considered were: 1 Leaf insertion level (top and bottom leaves); 2 Tiller hierarchy (main and primary tillers), and 3 Plant defoliation (control and defoliated plants). Defoliated plants had their blades removed at […]
