<b>Defoliation patterns and tillering dynamics in Italian ryegrass under different herbage allowances

Abstract: ABSTRACT. This work was carried out in order to generate information on the tillering process and to contribute for the understanding of the defoliation process on Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) grazed by lambs under different herbage allowances: 6, 8 and 12 kg of dry matter per 100 kg of animal live weight per day. The grazing method was intermittent. The experimental design was completely randomized following a repeated measure arrangement, with three treatments and two area replications. The int… Show more

“…Considering this, Graminho et al (2014) recorded an increase in the accumulation of stalks as a function of perennial ryegrass plant maturity, which is a result of the change in photo-assimilate partitioning, contributing to the increase in tiller mortality. Furthermore, the transition from the vegetative phase to the reproductive phase (flowering), also contributes to the increase in dead forage because the growth of leaves becomes limited by the decreased supply of photoassimilates for developing leaf tissue (Irving, 2015).…”
