Description

The regrowth of paniculate and eragrostoid grasses is conditioned by their peculiarities of tiller and bud formation. According to their arrangement and role in sward renewal, all vegetative buds of grasses are divided into five groups:

Apical buds of above-ground apogeotropic tillers; Lateral buds of above-ground diageotropic tillers; Lateral buds of above-ground apogeotropic tillers; Buds of tillering zone; Buds of rhizomatic tillers.

These groups of buds differ significantly in their stage of development. The major peculiarity of paniculate and eragrostoid grasses is their ability to regrow from lateral buds of above-ground apogeotropic and diageotropic tillers. The ecological conditions have a marked effect on the share of the various bud groups in the regrowth.
