Abstract: This paper studies the effect of grazing intensity of the tiller size, tiller density, pastureproductivity and tissue turnover in a perennial ryegrass pasture ecosystem.The resultsshow that hard grazing leads to a greater tiller density and a lesser tiller weight than laxgrazing does.The net productivity is higher under hard grazing, because under conditionof lax grazing, the higher growth rate of pasture is offset by its senescence rate.Thereare advantages to spring-summer pasture production from a flexible pasture management.
