It was evaluated morphogenetic and structural characteristics of the canopy of Brachiaria brizantha cv. Marandu under continuous grazing during the wet season, in different forage supplies and grazing cycles. A random block experimental design was used in a split-plot scheme with three replicates. It was evaluated in the plots the plots, the effects of forage supplies (4,7, 10 and 13% BW/day) and in the subplots, the effects of grazing cycles were evaluated. All the variables differed among grazing cycles, proving […]
