It was evaluated the effect of two rest periods (RPs) on the canopy structural characteristics of paddocks of Mombaçagrass, a cultivar of Panicum maximum, under intermittent grazing; animal production was also evaluated. The RPs were defined by the time required for the expansion of 2.5 and 3.5 new leaves per tiller. Canopy traits response variables were: height, total green forage mass (TGFM), green leaf mass (GLM), culm mass (CM), leaf/stem ratio (L/S), and leaf area index (LAI). It was also […]
