The objective of this study was to evaluate tiller demography, pasture morphological composition, leaf area index, dry matter herbage accumulation, dry matter in vitro digestibility and crude protein, neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and lignin contents of Brachiaria decumbens cv. Basilisk (Signalgrass), under nitrogen fertilization (75, 150, 225, 300 kg/ha.year of N) and continuous stock management with variable stocking rates, for two consecutive years. A randomized complete block design was used with two replications. In the first year, tiller demography did […]
