The canopy structural traits of tanzaniagrass (Panicum maximum Jacq. cv Tanzania) pastures under three resting periods (PDs), defined as the time to complete the expansion of 1.5, 2.5, and 3.5 new leaves per tiller, along several grazing cycles (CPs), were evaluated. The following response variables were evaluated: green leaf dry matter mass (MSLV), green stem dry matter mass (MSCV), dead forage dry mass (MSFM), canopy height, leaf/stem and live/dead material ratios at pre- and post- grazing, crop growth rate (TCC) […]
