Description
Two 3 x 2 x 2 factorial experiments were carried out to study the effects of 3 spaces between rows, 2 cutting intervals and 2 levels of NK application, on the yield of Guineagrass and Jaraguagrass. Data were collected over 3 years. Higher drymatter (DM) yield from either grass was obtained under the longest cutting interval, but in several cases significant cutting interval x spaces between rows interaction was observed. Reducing the spaces between rows had the effect of either reducing the yield from the plots under the longest interval of cutting or favoring yield from plots under more frequent cutting. This was so mainly for DM yield from Guineagrass or digestible DM and crude protein yields of both grasses.
