Regrowth dynamics and morpho-physiological characteristics of Plantago lanceolata under different defoliation frequencies and intensities. [PDF]
PLoS ONETraditional pastures in temperate regions face limitations such as reduced growth and nutritional quality during the summer season. Plantain (P. lanceolata L.) offers advantages like increased yield and decreased nitrogen losses from grazing ruminants ...

Distribution of Non-Structural Carbohydrates and Root Structure of Plantago lanceolata L. under Different Defoliation Frequencies and Intensities [PDF]
PlantsPlantago lanceolata L. (plantain) increases herbage dry matter (DM) production and quality during warm and dry conditions due to its deep roots and drought tolerance and reduces nitrogen losses in grazing systems compared to traditional pastures. However,

Physiological and sanitary quality of ryegrass seeds submitted to different defoliation frequencies [PDF]
Ciência Rural, 2021 ABSTRACT: This study determined the effect of different defoliation frequencies in a long-cycle ryegrass cultivar on yield components and the physiological and sanitary quality of seeds. Four defoliation frequencies were applied (without, one, two, and three defoliations). The time between defoliations was 350 degree-days.

Resource availability and repeated defoliation mediate compensatory growth in trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides) seedlings [PDF]
PeerJ, 2014 Plant ecologists have debated the mechanisms used by plants to cope with the impact of herbivore damage. While plant resistance mechanisms have received much attention, plant compensatory growth as a type of plant tolerance mechanisms has been less ...

Increased Defoliation Frequency Depletes Remobilization of Nitrogen for Leaf Growth in Grasses [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 1997 Plants ofLolium perenneandFestuca rubrawere grown in sand culture receiving all nutrients as a complete nutrient solution containing 1.5 mMNH4NO3, and subjected to one of three defoliation treatments: undefoliated, defoliated on one occasion, or defoliated weekly.15N labelling was used to determine the rate of N uptake, allowing the amount of N ...

Response of Bromus valdivianus (Pasture Brome) Growth and Physiology to Defoliation Frequency Based on Leaf Stage Development [PDF]
Agronomy, 2021 The increase in drought events due to climate change have enhanced the relevance of species with greater tolerance or avoidance traits to water restriction periods, such as Bromus valdivianus Phil. (B. valdivianus). In southern Chile, B.

Frequencies and intensities of defoliation in Aruana guineagrass swards: morphogenetic and structural characteristics [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2012 The objective of this study was to evaluate the morphogenetic and structural characteristics of Aruana guineagrass pastures (Panicum maximum cv. Aruana) subjected to rotational stocking by sheep. The treatments corresponded to grazing when swards reached 95 or 98% of interception of incident light (LI) until post-grazing heights of 10 and 15cm and were
