The objective of this work was, through a path analysis of seed yield in Paspalum notatum, to obtain basic information for using in management strategies to improve seed production and consequently, high natural reseeding and a better persistence of the species in the pasture. The following variables were analyzed: number of vegetative tiller, number of reproductive tiller, number of raceme/inflorescence, number of seeds/inflorescence, weight of 1000 seeds and seed yield. The most correlated variable with seed yield was the number […]
