A field experiment was carried out to evaluate the morphogenetic characteristics of pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R.Br.), under rotational grazing with the following rest periods between grazings (RP), corresponding to the time required for expansion from: RP 1.5 to 2 leaves, RP 2.5 to 3 leaves and 3.5 to 4 leaves. Morphogenic characteristics were evaluated in four replications of the area (paddocks) and consisted of leaf blade growth, leaf senescence, stem growth, leaf appearance, phillochron and leaf life-span. The […]
