Key Points

The study aims to evaluate the structural traits and forage accumulation of elephant grass genotypes under varying stubble heights.
Conducted in a randomized block design with five elephant grass genotypes and two stubble heights.
The experiment was factorial with three replications, covering rainy and dry periods.
Forage accumulation during the rainy period was highest for genotype 2111, though specific metrics are not provided.

Abstract

The objective was to evaluate the structural traits and forage accumulation of elephant grass genotypes under two stubble heights. The experiment was conducted in a factorial scheme, with five genotypes (P 2022 S1, 1810, 2111, 2035 and BRS Kurumi) and two stubble heights (25 and 45 cm), in a randomized block design, with three replications, considering the rainy and dry periods. Forage accumulation of the rainy period was higher for genotype 2111 (P
