Biomass of the forage in Tifton 85 pastures fertilized with nitrogen and managed under continuous stocking

The present study, carried out at the Division for Research and Development of Adamantina, SP/Brazil, at Agência Paulista de Tecnologia dos Agronegócios (APTA) – Polo da Alta Paulista, aimed to evaluate the effect of nitrogen fertilization on the morphological composition, tiller density, leaf area...

Tifton 85 were affected by the time of evaluation and nitrogen doses, with marked effect on the pasture morphological composition, leaf area index and light interception, which are determinant to forage accumulation. Tifton 85 grass reached the necessary conditions to achieve the maximum growth rate of the culture when managed under continuous grazing keeping the pasture at a height of 15 cm. http://www.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/semagrarias/editor/submission/16753Cynodon spp.; Grazing; Sheep; Structural characteristics
