In this study, seven elephant grass cultivars and seven Pearl Millet x elephant grass hybrids were evaluated under grazing conditions. The evaluated characteristics were dry matter yield (DMY), forage height (FH), stem diameter (SD), leaf blade/stem ratio (LB/S), leaves blade dry matter yield (LBDMY), basal tillers number (BTN), lateral tillers number (LTN) and lateral tillers/basal tiller ratio (LT/BT). The results showed higher DMY, LBDMY, FH, SD, and LB/S for the cultivars group, as compared to the hybrids group. The values […]
