Morphological characterization and defoliation responses of selected <em>Schizachyrium scoparium</em> genotypes
Date: 1985
Authors: J. G. Carman
Summary: In this study, Carman measured shoot and root growth for severely defoliated Schizachyrium scoparium plants, with different tillering rates and leaf lengths. Seeds from plants with short leaves were obtained from sites that had been grazed for 50-15 ...
