effects of stocking density and grazing period on herbage and seed production of paraggio medic
three stocking densities (20, 40, and 60 sheep/ha) were applied in four stocking periods (0, 2, 4, and 6 weeks) on a medicago truncatula cv. paraggio pasture. treatments were arranged in a split plot system and compared through a completely randomised block design with four replications.grazing period had a significant effect (p
متن کاملLivestock and Vegetation Responses to Stocking Rate and Grazing System
INTRODUCTION Vegetation and livestock responses from a 25 year (1982-2006) grazing system and stocking rate study in the northern mixed-grass prairie at the USDA-Agricultural Research Service, High Plains Grasslands Research Station near Cheyenne, Wyoming are presented here. This study was longest known grazing system X stocking rate study in North America and was one of the few studies to use ...
متن کاملStocking rate, precipitation, and herbage production on sand sagebrush-grassland
Knowledge of the relationship between stocking rate or grazing intensity and plant production is fundamental to the sustainable management of rangelands. The general management paradigm is that plant production declines as stocking rate increases. Our objective was to determine the impact of stocking rate on herbaceous production of a sand sagebrush (Artemisia filifolia Torr.)grassland. Stockin...
متن کاملHerbage Response to Sagebrush Spraying
Information that is presently available makes chemical control of sagebrush (Artemisia’ tridentata) a practical operation. Yet additional information is needed regarding ecological responses to assure that the practice of spraying for sagebrush control will be used wisely. The economy of brush control must be determined by the amount of forage and meat products gained; however, the principal ob...
متن کاملHerbage production and grazing losses in Panicum maximum cv
Grazing management is a key element determining herbage production and grazing efficiency. This study measured herbage accumulation and grazing efficiency in Mombaça grass pastures (Panicum maximum cv. Mombaça) subjected to intermittent defoliation managements. Treatments were combinations of 2 rest periods (grazing at either 95 or 100% canopy light interception — LI) and 2 grazing intensities ...
