Changes in the physiology of tall fescue during regrowth
Tall fescue ( Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) is a widely utilised dairy pasture species due to its wide range of adaptability (Langer, 1990), but little is known about the effect of leaf stage based defoliation management on this species.Grazing management decisions should be based on an understanding of the physiological changes that occur in the grass plant throughout the regrowth cycle.The aim of the present study was to investigate changes in tall fescue during regrowth to establish a basis for optimum defoliation management of tall fescue pastures.
