This research was conducted during the 1994/95 and 1995/96 growing seasons (Oct./Apr.), at the Estação Experimental de Ituporanga/EPAGRI – SC, aiming to evaluate the pasture dynamics of `Mott’ dwarf elephantgrass (MDE) under four levels of forage on offer (FO). The actual levels of green leaf lamina dry matter (GLLDM) were 3.8; 7.5; 10.2 and 14.0 kg/100 kg LW/day, under continuous grazing, using steers of 8 to 10 mo through the put-and-take technique. A completely randomized block design with two replications […]
Keywords: continuous grazing; density and porosity of soil; green leaf lamina; ground cover; morphological characteristics; Pennisetum purpureum Schum cv Mott

The objective of this work was to evaluate the influence of three levels of artificial shade (0, 30 and 60%) on dry matter production, nitrogen content and morphological characteristics of six forage grasses (Andropogon gayanus cv. Planaltina, Brachiaria brizantha cv. Marandu, B. decumbens, Melinis minutiflora, Panicum maximum cv. Vencedor and Setaria anceps cv. Kazungula). A randomized block design, with split plots and four replicates, was used; the shading levels were allotted to the plots and the species to the split […]
Keywords: artificial shading; morphological characteristics; nitrogen
