Defoliation management affects productivity, leaf/stem ratio, and tiller counts of ‘performer’ switchgrass

Agronomy Journal, 110(4), 1467–1472.

By: P. Bekewe n, M. Castillo n & R. Rivera n

Contributors: P. Bekewe n, M. Castillo n & R. Rivera n

TL;DR: Using ‘Pathfinder’ of switchgrass, Anderson et al. (1989) indicated that lengthy regrowth periods following severe defoliation, that allows apical meristems or leaf area, or both, to remain, are likely to enhance stand maintenance and plant vigor of switch Grass, however, the negative impact of frequent defliation on productivity and persistence of switch grass may be mitigated by higher stubble heights and may interact with cultivars.
