Abstract | A plot experiment examined the yield response of a nitrogen-fertilised rhodes grass (Chloris gayana) sward to defoliation using the production of a set number of leaves after the last defoliation as the indication for defoliation harvesting. Two factors, defoliation frequency and nitrogen fertiliser rate, were imposed on the rain-grown sward in south-east Queensland over 2 defoliation cycles. Defoliations occurred when an average of 2, 4, 6 and 8 leaves were produced on tillers, and the rates of nitrogen fertiliser were 150 and 300 kg/ha N. |
