Defoliation Dynamics in Kikuyugrass Pastures Subjected to Intensities of Defoliation

Agronomy, 2020
Some recent papers have recommended moderate intensities of defoliation in order to maximize herbage intake at different time-scales. Most of them, however, did not assess the grazing dynamics of individual tillers during the stocking period.

Effects of Pneumatic Defoliation on Fruit Quality and Skin Coloration in ‘Fuji’ Apples

Agriculture (Switzerland)
Fruit skin color and physical quality are important for customer acceptability and market value. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of pneumatic defoliation on the fruit quality, coloration, and anthocyanin content of ‘Fuji’ apples. Apple

Effects of Defoliation Timing and Intensity on Yield Components and Grain Quality of Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) [PDF]

Plants
Understanding plant tolerance to defoliation is crucial for sustainable pest management and reducing pesticide use in food production. This study explores quinoa’s (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) responses to foliar damage, which have been largely unexamined.

Defoliation Significantly Suppressed Plant Growth Under Low Light Conditions in Two Leguminosae Species

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Seedlings in regenerating layer are frequently attacked by herbivorous insects, while the combined effects of defoliation and shading are not fully understood.

Evaluation of the early defoliation trait and identification of resistance genes through a comprehensive transcriptome analysis in pears

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2023
Early defoliation, which usually occurs during summer in pear trees, is gradually becoming a major problem that poses a serious threat to the pear industry in southern China. However, there is no system for evaluating the responses of different cultivars

Variation of Stem Radius in Response to Defoliation in Boreal Conifers

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2021
In the long term, defoliation strongly decreases tree growth and survival. Insect outbreaks are a typical cause of severe defoliation. Eastern spruce budworm (Choristoneura fumiferana Clem.) outbreaks are one of the most significant disturbances of Picea

Soybean tolerance to defoliation at the vegetative and reproductive stages as a function of water restriction

Acta Scientiarum. Agronomy, 2022
Water deficiency reduces leaf expansion and photosynthetic efficiency, potentially reducing the ability to withstand leaf area (LA) loss. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of water restriction on soybean tolerance to defoliation in the vegetative

Nitrogen Application Alleviates the Adverse Effects of Defoliation Stress on Lolium perenne L. by Enhancing the Antioxidant System and Promoting Photosynthesis

Agronomy, 2022
Perennial grasses undergo compensatory growth after defoliation. Nitrate is the main nitrogen source for the growth of perennial ryegrass and plays a significant role in plant resistance to stress. The aim of the study was to understand the physiological

Sex-specific responses of Populus deltoides to defoliation

Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2017
There has been an increasing interest in understanding the differential effects of sexual dimorphism on plant stress responses. However, there is no clear pattern in the responses of the sexes to defoliation.
