The effects of season and frequency of cutting on the productivity of various grasses under coastal conditions in northern QueenslandTools Schofield, J.L. (1944) The effects of season and frequency of cutting on the productivity of various grasses under coastal conditions in northern Queensland. Queensland Journal of Agricultural Science, 1 (4). pp. 1-58.
AbstractNineteen perennial grasses were subjected to monthly, two-monthly, and three-monthly cutting treatments over a period of one or two years. The grasses with two exceptions exhibit a phase of high productivity immediately following the period of establishment; thereafter each twelve months can be divided into four productivity periods: "rapid increase," "zenith," "rapid decrease" and "low." The three main environmental factors controlling the pattern of productivity appear to be rainfall, temperature, and length of day.
