The objective of this experiment was to evaluate the influence of natural variation of heights of plants on the same pasture on the morphogenic and structural characteristics of Brachiaria decumbens cv. Basilisk managed under continuous stocking with cattle. Four plant heights (10, 20, 30 and 40 cm) were evaluated on the same pasture managed at an average height of 25 cm. It was used a randomized block design with two replications. Leaf appearance rate of signalgrass was linearly and negatively […]
