Description
Forage plants differ considerably regarding their ability to recover from grazing. Forage regrowth is determined by shoot apex survival (Sheard and Winch, 1966); leaf area (Ward and Blaser, 1961) ; non-structural carbohydrate content (Ward and Blaser, 1961 ; Brown and Blaser, 1965) and tillering potential (Paulsen and Smith, 1969). Little is known about these concepts regarding tropical grasses.
