Floristic diversification of spreading liverseed grass pasture according to different cutting intensities, obtained by grazing simulation

This study aimed to evaluate the impacts of different forage cutting intensities, obtained by grazing simulation, on floristic diversity and productivity a pasture cultivated with spreading liverseed grass. The experiment was set up in randomized block design, four replications treatments arranged 5 × 2 factorial scheme, five levels intensity simulated (0, 25, 50, 75, 95% canopy) associated two weed coexistence (presence absence). evaluations diversity, number individuals, total dry matter weeds were at 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 days after simulation (DAGS). All plots evaluated end experimental period (90 DAGS) for amount biomass produced pasture. results showed that higher increased accumulated grown grass, reducing 56% production forage.
