Number of tillers (a), height canopy (b), forage mass (c), forage mass density (d), forage accumulation rate (e), support capacity in animal units per hectare (f), percentages of leaf blead (g), stem (h) and dead material (i) of grazing stratum in Mavuno grass and Zuri guineagrass under condition irrigated or water restriction in field (Jaboticabal, Brazil). ns, * and ** indicate non-significant F-test, and significant F-tests at 5 and 1% probability levels, respectively. S, C, and S×C denote species, water condition, and their interaction, respectively. Means were tested by the Tukey test at 5% error probability. Uppercase letters compare means between conditions and lowercase letters compare the effect of species. Bars represent the standard error of the mean, n = 4.
