The Effect Of Alternate Year Rest Rotation Grazing On Carbohydrate And Nitrogen Reserves In Crested Wheatgrass, James B. Wood
The Effect Of Alternate Year Rest Rotation Grazing On Carbohydrate And Nitrogen Reserves In Crested Wheatgrass, James B. Wood
Theses and Dissertations
A field and laboratory study was made to determine the effect of alternate year rest rotation grazin in stem bases and root crowns of crested wheatgrass. Analyses for carbohydrate reserves and total nitrogen were made for the following treatments: (1) exclosures; (2) open range; (3) agronomy cages. Both carbohydrate concentration and total nitrogen content showed differences between sampling dates but did not show differences as a result of grazing treatment on individual dates. Differences between sampling dates were associated with season and growth stage of plants. Although differences due to grazing teatment were not shown for individual dates the combined …
