The research was carried out aiming to evaluate the influence of irrigation on total dry matter (TDMA) and green dry matter availability (GDMA) and on residual dry matter (RDM), forage height, forage density (FD), leaf percentage and chemical composition of leaf blades of the Napier grass and Mombaça grass. The treatments were the combinations of the two grasses and two irrigation levels (presence and absence). The irrigation supplied the previous ten-year mean evapotranspiration (ET0). It was adopted the rotational grazing, […]
