Forage mass and canopy structure of Zuri and Quênia guineagrasses pasture under rotational stocking

ABSTRACT This work evaluated the productive and structural characteristics of the BRS Zuri and BRS Quenia cultivars under rotational stocking management. The evaluations were divided into five periods according to rainfall regime (high, medium, and low rainfall) during 16 months of the years 2016-2018. Pastures were grazed when canopies intercepted 95% of incident light to stubbles corresponding to 50% of the pre-grazing height. The pre- and post-grazing heights varied as a function of cultivar, with higher values for BRS Zuri [...]
