Theme 09: Forage Quality
Description
The content and quantities of nutrients in forage and litter was evaluated in native pasture under grazing, submitted to burning and alternatives practices. The experimental design was a completely randomized, with three replications. The biennial burning has no effect in nutrients contents of the forage, but in the case of litter plus senescent material the concentration of Ca and Mg decreased as compared to the systems without burning. The sod-seeding treatment increased the nutrient contents in the alive and dead tissues. Nutrient accumulation on forage tissue and litter plus senescent material, was highest in the systems without burning.
