It was evaluated the effect of anatomical characteristics and tissue lignification sites on the leaf blade nutritive value of four grasses sampled during the dry and rainy season. Fresh samples of the two last expanded leaf blades on the tiller tops of molassesgrass (Melinis minutiflora Pal. De Beauv), signalgrass (Brachiaria decumbens Staph.), sapegrass (Imperata brasiliensis Trin.) and, jaraguagrass (Hyparrhenia rufa (Nees) Staph.) were collected in the rainy and dry seasons. These samples were evaluated according to anatomical characteristics using light […]
