Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Applied nitrogen had virtually no effect on leaf growth.
- Intervention effect Early sowing increased leaf emergence, extension, and expansion rates before the first grazing cut.
- Intervention effect Early sowing reduced leaf mortality before the first grazing cut.
- Intervention effect Without interrupted growth, early sowing did not affect leaf number.
- Intervention effect Without interrupted growth, early sowing increased later-leaf longevity.
- Intervention effect Grazing cuts reduced subsequent leaf extension and expansion rates and final size.
- Observation Leaf extension, expansion and final size recovered after cutting, especially with October sowing.
- Observation Up to six leaves expanded simultaneously on main stems or primary tillers.
- Observation Leaf blades reached full length about halfway between emergence and death.
- Association Uninterrupted leaf blade area was positively correlated with time between successive leaf emergences.
