Sward structure of marandu palisadegrass subjected to continuous stocking and nitrogen-induced rhythms of growth

Abstract: Acceleration of the growth rhythm of plants using nitrogen fertiliser alters the rates of physiological processes like growth and senescence and may cause significant changes in sward structure, interfering with plant and animal responses. The objective of this experiment was to evaluate sward structure of marandu palisadegrass (Brachiaria brizantha) maintained at 30 cm under continuous stocking and subjected to contrasting rhythms of growth from January 2007 to April 2008. These were generated using or not ni… Show more

“…Likewise, Hack et al (2007) compared Mombasa-grass swards under an intermittent stocking regime managed with two different pre-grazing heights (140 and 90 cm) and two post-grazing heights (0 and 50 cm), showing that the lower pre-grazing height positively influenced canopy characteristics and cow milk production. The consistent pre-grazing height results measured for Aruana Guineagrass suggest a promising use for pre-grazing canopy height as a practical, simple and reliable guide exhibiting remarkable uniformity and consistency regardless of the time of the year, postgrazing height and plant phenological state (Sbrissia & Da Silva, 2001;Vilela et al, 2005;Pereira et al, 2010). However, it should be stressed that height determination must be associated with the physiological and cophysiological parameters of swards to be useful as a management tool.…”

“…Para a densidade de perfilhos houve interação (P < 0,05) entre doses e anos de recuperação e doses e fontes de nitrogênio. Observa-se que houve aumento linear em relação às doses de nitrogênio para todos os anos de recuperação da pastagem (Figura 3a (PEREIRA et al, 2010), resultando na redução da produção de massa seca e no potencial de recuperação da pastagem degradada.…”

“…Dentre os fatores que justificam a escolha preferencial dos bovinos pela folha viva, destacam-se seu melhor valor nutritivo (Santos et al, 2008); sua fácil acessibilidade ao animal, pois normalmente ela está localizada na parte superior do dossel (Pereira et al, 2010;Galzerano et al, 2015); e sua menor resistência ao cisalhamento em comparação ao colmo (Nave et al, 2010), o que exige menos esforço pelo animal durante a sua apreensão.…”

“…Nesse sentido, a folha viva é o componente morfológico preferido pelo animal (Santos et al, 2011) em razão de sua maior digestibilidade (Van Soest, 1994), acessibilidade (Pereira et al, 2010) e de sua menor resistência à apreensão em comparação ao colmo (Nave et al, 2010).…”
