Defoliation of Thurber needlegrass: Herbage and root responses
Date: 1988
Authors: D. Ganskopp
Summary: Ganskopp conducted a study on the Squaw Butte Experimental Range to determine the response of containerized Thurber needlegrass (<em>Stipa thurberiana</em>) to single defoliations (2.5-cm stubble) throughout the growing season. Thurber n ...
