“…Thus, with greater heights there is lower CP content and a higher amount of fiber, even indigestible fiber. This reduction in nutrient value related to the increase in forage heights is clear in the literature (SANTOS et al, 2010(SANTOS et al, , 2012.…”

A pot trial in greenhouse conditions was carried out to identify at which defoliation height Mulato II grass (Urochloa hibrida cv. Mulato II) should be managed and to determine whether potassium fertilization is necessary in soil with high potassium content. The experiment was carried out in a greenhouse in a randomized block design with six treatments and five replications. Treatments consisted of a 3 × 2 factorial arrangement, with three defoliation heights (50, 65, and 80 cm) and with or without potassium maintenance fertilization. The production characteristics and chemical composition of the forage plant were evaluated. There was no interaction effect between defoliation height and fertilization with or without potassium on any of the analyzed variables, except for mineral content in Mulato II grass. The tillers and leaves number, shoot dry matter, leaf+sheath, root system, and residue were influenced by defoliation heights and potassium fertilization, except for the leaf blades and root dry matter, leaf blade/ stem+sheath ratio, and leaves number, which were not influenced by potassium fertilization. Higher shoot dry matter was observed at the heights of 65 and 80 cm; however, comparing these two heights, leaf + sheath dry matter was lower at 65 cm. Regarding the grass's chemical composition, there was an increase in neutral and acid detergent fiber and indigestible neutral detergent fiber contents as the defoliation height increased, which resulted in lower production of potentially digestible dry matter, which can compromise the potential use of the forage by animals. Among evaluated treatments, Mulato II grass defoliation is recommended for a maximum height of 65 cm. Potassium fertilization increases the yield and the potentially digestible dry matter content of Mulato II grass, even when cultivated in soil with high potassium content. teor de potássio. O experimento foi realizado em casa de vegetação, em delineamento experimental em blocos casualizados, com seis tratamentos e cinco repetições, em esquema fatorial 3x2. Os tratamentos consistiram em três alturas de desfolha (50, 65 e 80 cm), sendo cada altura de desfolha avaliada com ou sem adubação de manutenção com potássio. Foram avaliadas as características produtivas e a composição bromatológica da forrageira. As alturas de corte e adubação ou não com potássio não apresentaram efeito de interação para nenhuma das variáveis analisadas, exceto para teor de minerais no capim Mulato II. O perfilhamento, massa seca da parte aérea, colmo + bainha, número de folhas e massa seca de raiz e resíduos foram influenciadas pelas alturas de corte e adubação com potássio, com exceção a massa de lâminas foliares, raiz, relação lâmina foliar/colmo+bainha e número de folhas, que não foram influenciadas pela adubação potássica. Observou-se maior massa seca de parte aérea nas alturas de 65 e 80 cm, contudo, comparando estas duas alturas, houve menor massa seca de colmo+bainha na altura de 65 cm. Em relação à composição bromatológica do capim Mulato II, houve inc...

“…This, in turn, did not guarantee the high accumulation of reserve compounds for use in tillering during the deferment period. The greater number of tillers in the 30/15 cm and 45/15 cm pastures (Table 2) may result in a deferred pasture with a greater volumetric forage density, which can increase the bite mass and have positive consequences on the ingestive behavior of grazing animals (SANTOS et al, 2010). The defoliation strategy that generated the greatest percentage of young tillers was the maintenance of 45/15 cm pastures (Table 2).…”

Pasture mowing at the beginning of deferment stimulates tillering and can be used in different ways. The aim of this study was to understand how the mowing of Urochloa brizantha cv. Marandu Syn. Brachiaria brizantha cv. Marandu (marandu palisade grass) prior to the deferment period modifies tillering activity and the characteristics of young, mature, and old tillers. Three mowing strategies were evaluated: canopies kept at a height of 15 cm for five months before deferment (15/15 cm); canopies kept at 30 cm (30/15 cm) or 45 cm (45/15 cm) for five months before deferment and posteriorly cut to 15 cm at the start of the deferment period. The structural characteristics of young, mature, and old tillers of marandu palisade grass were compared only at the end of the deferment period. The tiller appearance rate was greater before (16.0%) than during (6.4%) the deferment period, but a contrasting response pattern was observed for the tiller mortality rate. The defoliation strategies that resulted in greater numbers of tillers in the canopies were 30/15 cm (2,098 tillers m -²) and 45/15 cm (2,160 tillers m -2 ). The defoliation strategy that generated the greatest percentage of young tillers in the canopy was 45/15 cm (26.1%), while the percentage of old tillers was greater in the canopies submitted to the 15/15 cm (64.1%) and 30/15 cm (61.5%) strategies. Weight and percentage of live stems of mature and old tillers were greater in relation to young tillers. The percentage of live leaves was grater in young tillers (52.6%), intermediate in mature tillers (41.4%), and lower in old tillers (21.3%). Regarding the percentage of dead leaves, the opposite trend was observed, where the percentage was greater in the old than in young tillers. Leaf area was greater in mature tillers (55.3 cm²) than in old tillers (29.2 cm²). Mowing of the marandu palisade grass to 15 cm at the beginning of the deferment period increases the number of young tillers, which have a more favorable morphological composition than mature and old tillers. (61,5 %). O peso e a percentagem de colmo vivo dos perfilhos maduros e velhos foram maiores em relação ao do perfilho jovem. A porcentagem de folha viva foi maior nos perfilhos jovens (52,6 %), intermediária no perfilho maduro (41,4 %) e menor no perfilho velho (21,3 %). A porcentagem de folha morta apresentou padrão de resposta contrário ao observado para a percentagem de folha viva. A área foliar foi maior no perfilho maduro (55,3 cm²) e menor no perfilho velho (29,2 cm²). O rebaixamento do capim-marandu de 45 para 15 cm no início do diferimento aumenta o número de perfilhos jovens no dossel e esses perfilhos possuem melhor composição morfológica, em relação aos maduros e velhos. Palavras-chave: Área foliar. Composição morfológica. Idade do perfilho. Urochloa brizantha.

“…Porém, não se pode esquecer que existem outras características estruturais importantes que influenciam a produção. Dentre elas, estão: a altura de plantas, densidade de perfilhos, área foliar e relação folha: colmo, que são características que estão diretamente relacionadas à produção de massa seca, recuperação das pastagens e ao comportamento ingestivo dos animais em condições de pastejo (SANTOS et al, 2010).…”

Doses e fontes de nitrogênio na recuperação das características estruturais e produtivas do capim-marandu 1Rates and sources of nitrogen in the recovery of the structural and productive characteristics of marandu grass ABSTRACT -To replenish soil fertility is one of the ways of recovering the productive capacity of degraded pasture. Nitrogen fertilisation is fundamental to increasing forage production, especially when it comes to the recovery of pasture. With this in mind, the objective of this work was to evaluate the structural characteristics and dry matter (DM) accumulation of the leaf blades and sheathed stems of marandu-grass pasture at a moderate stage of degradation, for different dosages and sources of nitrogen, during a three-year period. The experiment was carried out from July, 2003 to March, 2006 at the Model Farm of the Goiás State University (UEG), over an area of 882 m 2 with plots of 20 m 2 and usable area of 6 m 2 . The experimental design was of randomized blocks with three replications. The treatments in the plots were characterized by a 2 x 4 factorial, being two nitrogen sources (ammonium sulphate and urea) and four nitrogen dosages (0; 100; 200 and 300 kg ha -1 yr -1). For each sub-plot, treatments were represented by the years (2004, 2005 and 2006), as relating to the time of the recovery of the pasture. Nitrogen fertilization was divided into three applications, following each harvesting of the grass for forage evaluation. The results showed that nitrogen fertilisation influenced the structural characteristics and dry matter accumulation of marandu grass, and hence its recovery. The dosage of 300 kg ha -1 yr -1 of ammonium sulphate resulted in greater values for plant height, tiller density and leaf-blade dry matter.
