Resumo: | The objective of this study was to evaluate the number of tillers with different levels of defoliation and their characteristics on the Brachiaria decumbens cv. Basilisk pasture. Three different areas on the pasture (undergrazed, with proper grazing and overgrazed) and three tiller categories (without defoliation, with defoliation and without shoot apical meristem) were evaluated. Randomized block design with three repetitions was used. The B. decumbens pasture was managed under the continuous stocking system with cattle, and the grass height was kept at about 25cm. The number of tillers showing defoliation was higher (1,333 tillers/m²) for the overgrazed area compared to the area with proper grazing and the undergrazed area. Inverse response pattern was observed for the tillers without defoliation. On the other hand, the number of tillers without the shoot apical meristem was higher in the areas with proper grazing (395 tillers/m²). Tillers without defoliation showed a lower pseudoculm length (10.3cm) and a smaller number of dead leaves (0.22) when compared to the other categories. The length of the leaf blade did not change for the tiller categories evaluated. The number of grazed leaves was lower for tillers without the shoot apical meristem in relation to the ones showing or not defoliation. Lower leaf area for the tillers that had the shoot apical meristem removed was observed. Tillers without the shoot apical meristem showed a lower percentage of green leaf blade (GLB), higher percentages of both live culm (LC) and dead leaf blade (DLB) as well as a lower relation of the GLB/LC and weight comparing to the tillers showing or not defoliation. Those last ones did not differ regarding their morphological composition. There is indeed spatial variability of the vegetation and tiller diversity with varying levels of defoliation on Brachiaria decumbens cv. Basilisk pastures under continuous grazing.KEYWORDS: Brachiaria decumbens; grazing; morphological composition; number of tillers; spatial variability of the vegetation. |

Basilisk. Os tratamentos foram locais do pasto (subpastejado, com pastejo adequado e sobrepastejado) e categorias de perfilhos (sem desfolhação, com desfolhação e sem o meristema apical). O delineamento foi em blocos ao acaso com três repetições. O pasto de B. decumbens foi manejado sob lotação contínua com bovinos, mantendo-se a altura média do pasto em 25 cm. O número de perfilhos com desfolhação foi maior (1.333 perfilhos/m²) no local sobrepastejado em comparação aos locais com pastejo adequado e subpastejado. Padrão de resposta inverso foi observado para os perfilhos sem desfolhação. Já o número de perfilhos sem o meristema apical foi maior no local com pastejo adequado (395 perfilhos/m²). O perfilho sem desfolhação apresentou menor comprimento do pseudocolmo (10,3 cm) e menor número de folha morta (0,22) quando comparado às demais categorias. O comprimento da lâmina foliar não diferiu entre as categorias de perfilhos avaliadas. O número de folhas pastejada foi menor no perfilho sem o meristema apical em relação aos perfilhos com e sem desfolhação. Observou-se menor área foliar nos perfilhos que tiveram o meristema apical removido. O perfilho sem o meristema apical apresentou menor percentual de lâmina foliar viva (LFV), maiores percentuais de colmo vivo (CV) e lâmina foliar morta, bem como inferior relação LFV/CV e peso em relação aos perfilhos sem e com desfolhação. Estes últimos não diferiram entre si quanto à composição morfológica. Existe variabilidade espacial da vegetação e diversidade de perfilhos com níveis variáveis de desfolhação em pasto de B. decumbens cv. Basilisk sob lotação contínua.PALAVRAS-CHAVES: Brachiaria decumbens; composição morfológica; número de perfilho; pastejo; variabilidade espacial da vegetação.Universidade Federal de Goiás2011-06-24info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionResearchAvaliado por paresPesquisa Científicaapplication/pdftext/htmlhttps://revistas.ufg.br/vet/article/view/754110.5216/cab.v12i2.7541Brazilian Animal Science/ Ciência Animal Brasileira; Vol. 12 No. 2 (2011); 241-249Ciência Animal Brasileira / Brazilian Animal Science; v. 12 n. 2 (2011); 241-2491809-68911518-2797reponame:Ciência animal brasileira (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Goiás (UFG)instacron:UFGporhttps://revistas.ufg.br/vet/article/view/7541/9226https://revistas.ufg.br/vet/article/view/7541/9227Santos, Manoel Eduardo R.da Fonseca, Dilermando MirandaGomes, Virgilio MesquitaSant’Anna e Castro, Marina R.de Carvalho, Victor Valérioinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2011-06-27T14:44:54Zoai:ojs.revistas.ufg.br:article/7541Revistahttps://revistas.ufg.br/vetPUBhttps://revistas.ufg.br/vet/oai||revistacab@gmail.com1809-68911518-2797opendoar:2024-05-21T19:55:26.558949Ciência animal brasileira (Online) - Universidade Federal de Goiás (UFG)true |
