Description
In Argentina grazing of rangelands may result in a decrease in winter gramineous species with an increase in summer weeds such as Cynodon dactylon. Lolium multiflorum is an important forage resource for grazing in the autumn, winter and spring. A delay in its emergence may occur because of summer weeds, which reduces the germination rate. The proportion of the seed bank as ryegrass allows the recovery of natural grassland and facilitates an increase in the productivity of livestock. The objective of this study was the evaluation of the impact of application of fertiliser in the short term on the relationship with botanical composition at different herbage availabilities.
