The objective of this study was to determine the deferment period and the most adequate initial sward height of Brachiaria brizantha cv. Piatã for deferment in the region of Viçosa, Minas Gerais. For so, the following characteristics were evaluated: masses and bulk density of forage and its morphological components, light interception by the sward, leaf area index, leaf angle, sward and extended tiller height and falling index of the deferred piatã grass. The three deferment periods assessed (65, 85 and […]

This research was carried out aiming to assess the forage mass and its morphological components, pasture height and falling index, bulk density and the forage nutritional value on nitrogen (N) fertilized and deferred Brachiaria decumbens cv. Basilisk pastures. The treatments had 73, 95 and 116-day deferring periods, and 0, 40, 80 and 120 kg/ha N doses. A randomized block design with three replicates and subdivided plots was used. Total forage, green forage and green stem mass, as well as pasture […]
