Effects of defoliation intensity on white clover seedling growth

Grass and Forage Science, 1984
AbstractWhite clover seedlings were defoliated when either two, four or six leaves had opened. There were four defoliation treatments, involving removal of younger laminae, older laminae, all laminae or all laminae and petioles, plus a control (no defoliation).Leaf removal reduced area of subsequently emerging leaves when measured as they became fully ...

Maximization of Aboveground Grassland Production: The Role of Defoliation Frequency, Intensity, and History

Ecological Applications, 1993
Production of tallgrass prairie vegetation was measured on experimental plots in which defoliation intensity and frequency were manipulated by mowing and using movable exclosures on areas chronically grazed by cattle. Defoliation history largely controlled whether or not defoliated plants overcompensated (exhibited enhanced production compared to ...

Defoliation Intensity and Simulated Grazing Strategy Effects on Three C4 Rangeland Bunchgrasses

Rangeland Ecology & Management, 2018
Abstract Defoliation intensity and timing are two important factors determining plants response to grazing. These factors can be managed by adjusting stocking rate and applying a grazing strategy. In a 6-yr clipping experiment conducted in northwestern Argentina, we assessed the effect of different defoliation intensities (~ 30%, ~ 50%, and ~ 70 ...

Effect of intensity of defoliation on regrowth of pasture

Australian Journal of Agricultural Research, 1956
A pasture association comprising short-rotation ryegrass, red clover, and white clover was subjected to three different intensities of defoliation by cutting down to 1, 3, and 5 in. At 4-day intervals over a period of 32 days, measurements were taken of herbage dry matter yield, the leaf area per unit area of ground, and the percentage of light ...

Morphophysiology of forage peanut submitted to different intensities of defoliation on grazing with sheep

Tropical Animal Health and Production, 2019
The aim was to monitor the growth, the dry mass accumulation curve, and the structural photosynthetic components of forage peanut pasture, in different intensities of defoliation in sheep rotational stocking. Experimental area of Arachis pintoi (cv.

Effect of defoliation intensity on aboveground and belowground relative growth rates

Oecologia, 1992
According to a simple growth model, grazed and ungrazed plants may have equal absolute growth rates provided that the relative growth rate (RGR) of grazed plants increases exponentially with grazing intensity (proportion of biomass removed). This paper reports results from an experiment designed to determine whether plants of two grass species ...

Bahiagrass (Paspalum notatum CV. Inia Sepé) responses to defoliation intensities

Grass and Forage Science, 2023
AbstractDefoliation management is determinant of forage production and plant persistence. The objective of this study was to identify grazing suitability and stability of herbage production of INIA Sepé subjected to four intensities of defoliation (represented for sward canopies of 3, 10, 17 and 24 cm maintained constant through weekly cuts) and two ...

Defoliation intensity and larval age interact to affect sawfly performance on previously injured Pinus resinosa

Oecologia, 1995
Rapidly induced responses can alter host plant suitability for insect growth and survival. The effects of defoliation on the suitability of potted 5-year-old red pine, Pinus resinosa Ait., for the sawfly Neodiprion sertifer (Hymenoptera: Diprionidae), were measured in two experiments.
