Descripción
The efficiency of the grazing process depends on the forage canopy structure. Therefore, management strategies based on grazing frequency can alter the forage canopy structure and the efficiency of utilization. The objective was to evaluate the efficiency of forage utilization by leaf category, pseudocolm and extended tiller in zuri grass pastures managed under four levels of light interception (IL): 80, 85, 90 and 95 %. The experiment was executed at Embrapa Gado de Corte, Campo Grande, MS. In a randomized block design, with four replications.
