Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation In the rainy season the dwarf genotype Taiwan A-146 2.37 had a herbage accumulation rate (146 kg DM ha per day) similar to that of tall genotypes (124 and 150 kg DM/ha per day).
- Observation Dwarf genotypes differed in leaf accumulation rate (66 and 49 kg DM/ha per day).
- Observation Mott leaf had less neutral detergent fiber (589 g/kg DM) than Taiwan A-146 2.37 leaf (598 g/kg DM).
- Observation Tall genotypes generally had greater NDF (668 g/kg DM) than dwarf genotypes.
- Intervention effect Irrigation increased fiber deposition in the leaf.
- Intervention effect Stems of all genotypes had lower in vitro digestible dry matter (378 g/kg DM) under rainfed conditions in the rainy season.
- Observation Dwarf genotypes generally had greater nutritive value than tall genotypes.
