Abstract:Tithonia diversifolia (Hemsl.) A. Gray has significant potential as a forage source in silvopastoral systems, particularly in tropical conditions. However, its intensity and frequency management differ from those commonly applied to grasses. This study aims to evaluate T. diversifolia under two harvest intensities (30 and 40 cm stubble height) and four harvest frequencies (21, 28, 35, and 42 days), aligning with Brazil’s traditional tropical grass management practices. Biomass production and nutritive value of… Show more
