Title: Defoliation effects and seed yield components in pearl millet x elephantgrass hybrids
Journal: Agronomy Journal
Authors: D. A. Diz, S. C. Schank, and D. S. Wofford
Date: 1995
Summary: In Florida, Diz et al. evaluated the effects of three defoliation treatments on the height of the panicles produced, days to flowering, seed yield components, seed yield per plant, seed germination, and plant survival in four pearl millet x elephantgrass (Pennisetum glaucum x Pennisetum purpureum) genotypes. Two cuts of forage per year in Florida, with the last cut around the beginning of August, appears to be a viable alternative for reducing the height and biomass of the plants, while maintaining relatively good seed production. Overall in 1991, plants cut twice yielded 28% more seed on ave ...
