| Popis: | The objective of this study was to understand how the strategy of defoliation prior to deferred grazing modifies the structure of Brachiaria brizantha cv. marandu (marandu grass) at the beginning of deferment. The following three defoliation strategies wer e evaluated: 15/15 cm – canopy height of 15 cm in the three months prior to deferment; 30/15 cm – canopy height of 30 cm in the preceding three months and defoliation to 15 cm at the beginning of deferment; 45/15 cm – canopy height of 45 cm in the three preceding months and defoliation to 15 cm at the beginning of deferment. A complete randomized design with four replications was used. When compared to the 30/15 and 45/15 cm canopies, the 15/15 cm canopy exhibited a larger number of tillers (P |
