Title: Effect of stocking rate on the location of storage carbohydrates in the stubble of tropical grasses
Journal: Tropical Grasslands
Authors: M. B. Adjei, P. Milslevy, and R. L. West
Date: 1988
Summary: Altering the stocking rate in a rotational grazing system, time of year, and plant species affected the non-structural carbohydrate storage in Florida stargrass pastures. Pastures with high stocking rates had lower levels of total carbohydrates, indicating that regrowth from more severe grazing reduced the amount of carbohydrates stored in these plants. Late season regrowth was limited for all tropical grasses because non-structural carbohydrate storage decreased later in the grazing season, probably as a result of the changing environmental conditions in the fall. Tropical grasses differed ...
