Frequencies and intensities of defoliation in Aruana guineagrass swards: morphogenetic and structural characteristics

The objective of this study was to evaluate the morphogenetic and structural characteristics of Aruana guineagrass pastures (Panicum maximum cv. Aruana) subjected to rotational stocking by sheep. The treatments corresponded to grazing when swards reached 95 or 98% of interception of incident light (...
