The objective of this study is to evaluate morphogenetic and structural characteristics as well as forage accumulation on Brachiaria decumbens pastures according to the site of cattle feces. It was evaluated two grazing areas: near and far from the droppings. The design used was a random block design, with three replicates. Tillers were tagged on the pasture for evaluation of length of the leaves and stems. Leaf appearance and death were also recorded. Stem elongation rate was 80% higher and […]
