Relationship between average daily gain and grazing pressure on UF-4 stargrass. 98 7. Relationship between average daily gain and grazing pressure on McCaleb stargrass. 99 8. Relationship between average daily gain and residual grazing pressure on five tropical grass entries. 102 9. Total nonstructural carbohydrate found in the stubble and roots of UF-5 stargrass during a summer and fall grazing cycle following three stocking rates. 106 10. The effect of stocking rate on total nonstructural Carbohydrate in the stubble and roots of UF-5 stargrass during summer. 108 11. The effect of stocking rate on total nonstructural carbohydrate in the stubble and roots of UF-5 stargrass during fall. 109 Total nonstructural carbohydrate found in the stubble and roots of UF-4 stargrass during a summer and fall grazing cycle following three stocking rates.

Growth analysis of hybrid digitgrass 'X46-2' sward /

“…Nevertheless, 13.2% of TNC appeared to be sufficient for regrowth of swards when harvested at 4-week intervals. A regrowth period of 28 days was sufficient to recover fully the depleted TNC concentration in stargrasses, 'Pangola' digitgrass and 'Pensacola' bahiagrass (Adjei, 1978), grazed in Central Florida at different stocking rates.…”
