This study aimed to evaluate the tolerance of Brachiaria species (B. decumbens, B. brizantha, B. humidicola and B. mutica) to low soil water potential. Morphogenetical, physiological and production characteristics were estimated during and after the stress period. The experimental treatments resulted from 4 x 5 factorial arrangement consisting of four Brachiaria species and five soil water potential (-0, 01; -0, 03; -0, 1; -0, 5 and -1, 5MPa) distributed in randomized block design, with three replications. The experiment was carried […]
