Tiller Defoliation Patterns under Frontal, Continuous, and Rotation Grazing

Intake, Digestibility, and Growth by Steers Compared under Continuous and Frontal Grazing

Comparison of Florigraze and Arbrook Rhizoma Peanut Under Continuous Grazing

Florigraze and Arbrook are the most widely used cultivars of perennial peanut in Florida, but their persistence and cattle weight gains have not been compared under continuous grazing. The objectives of this experiment were to evaluate the nutritive value and persistence of both cultivars, as well as to compare the performance (ADG) of 400-lb heifers continuously grazing the two cultivars. In t...

Coriolis effects on fingering patterns under rotation.

The development of immiscible viscous fingering patterns in a rotating Hele-Shaw cell is investigated. We focus on understanding how the time evolution and the resulting morphologies are affected by the action of the Coriolis force. The problem is approached analytically and numerically by employing a vortex sheet formalism. The vortex sheet strength and a linear dispersion relation are derived...

Effects of Season and Stage of Rotation Cycle on Hydrologic Condition of Rangeland Under Intensive Rotation Grazing

Infdtration rate and sediment production were measured over a 2-year period on an intensive rotationally grazed pasture. Measurements were taken prior to the movement of livestock onto the pasture, soon after their removal, and approximately midway through the subsequent rest period of each rotation through the system. Midgrass-dominated interspaces were characterized by significantly higher ht...

Soil Hydrologic Response to Number of Pastures and Stock- ing Density under Intensive Rotation Grazing

InfiltraGon rde and sediment production were measured for 2 years on 3 pastures from an intensive rotational grazing system. The pastures were 32,24, and 16 ha in size. Stocking rate was held constant but stocking density at any given point in time varied due to pasture size. Stocking densities were 0.68,0.51, and 0.32 ha/AU, respectively. Within the respective treatments, midgrass interspa ces...
