The effect of different pasture structures imposed by treatments of green leaf lamina biomass (GLLB) levels of 350 and 600 kg/ha of dry matter (MS), over animals grazing behaviour was evaluated in this experiment. The pasture was oat (Avena strigosa Schreb.) and Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.). Animals activities were recorded in August and September, in 24 consecutive hours, by trained observers. In the hours of the day in which grazing were more intense, grazing stations remaining time, distance between […]

This study was conducted to evaluate productivity and morphologic traits of five hybrids of Pioneer corn: P32R21, P30R07, P3041, P30F33 and P30F80 at different maturity stages. The treatments were used in plots of 7 x 8 m in a randomized block design, with four replicates. The samples collected, of corn hybrid, were adopted trying to estimate phases of maturity of the plant (30, 34, 38, 42 and 46% of dry matter [DM]). In the first maturation stage, some parameters (plant […]

The study was carried out in the county of Astorga, PR, Brazil, in the Nossa Senhora de Aparecida farm. The objective was to study the sward characteristics and forage accumulation of tanzania grass, deferred and after grazed from 07/23 to 09/18/1999, under different sward height levels. The experimental design was a completely randommized, with two replications. The treatments were four levels of sward height: T1=20, T2=40, T3=60 and T4=80 cm. However, the true sward height levels were used for analysis […]
