- Intervention effect More frequent leaf removal reduced root-stubble dry weight.
- Observation The first clipping caused the largest decline in shoot yield.
- Observation The first clipping caused the largest decline in root-stubble dry weight.
- Association Successive defoliations brought progressively smaller top-yield declines.
- Association Successive defoliations brought progressively smaller root-stubble dry-weight declines.
- Association Available carbohydrate concentration in root-stubble declined as clipping frequency increased.
- Intervention effect Root-stubble nitrogen concentration was higher with 50-day clipping than with no clipping.
- Association Root-stubble nitrogen concentration declined as clipping frequency increased.
- Association Increasing clipping frequency appeared to raise the root-stubble cell-wall to reserve-substance ratio.
