Effects of nitrogen fertilization and harvest data on yield, digestibility, fiber, and protein fractions of tropical grasses

To evaluate the response of three tropical forage species to varying rates of nitrogen (N) fertilization [0, 39, 78, 118, 157 kg of N/(ha-cutting)] and five summer harvests, forate DM mass and nutritive value were evaluated in a randomized complete block design with a split-split plot arrangement of...
