Assessment Of The Variation In Shear Strength Of Leaves Of Pasture Grasses, D A. Henry, R H. Macmillan, F M. Roberts, R J. Simpson
IGC Proceedings (1993-2023)
The shear strength of leaves of pasture grasses was measured using a shearing device. The mechanics of shearing were investigated and leaf strength was measured either as the force or the energy required to shear a leaf. The investigations indicate that the inherent strength of leaf tissue is best measured as a force corrected for the length of cutting blade in contact with the leaf. Inherent shear strength did not change along the length of a leaf blade, but did change with the physiological age of the leaf. Variation in shear strength within a population of annual ryegrass (Lolium …
