The canopy growth of Mombaçagrass was assessed under intermittent stocking with three rest periods, characterized by the time required for the expansion of 2.5, 3.5, and 4.5 new leaf blades per tiller, after grazing periods of six days. The experimental area was divided into five or six paddocks per treatment. Five crossbreed (Holstein x Zebu) steers were randomly assigned to each treatment. Extra steers were also used to achieve residual leaf area index of about 2.0, by the end of […]
