Beskrivning: | This experiment was conducted at theAlfredo Volio Mata Dairy Cattle Experiment Station in CostaRica, at an altitude of 1542 masl, with an average annualrainfall of 2050 mm, temperature of 19.5°C and a relativehumidity of 84%. A ramie plantation was split into fourblocks, with a distance of 70 cm between rows and 50 cmbetween plants. Each block was divided into four plots givenconsecutive pruning treatments every 42nd , 56th, 70th and84th day. The annual yield of bio-mass of the whole ramiebush (stems and leaves) was highly influenced (P=0.01) bythe cutting frequency. The stem production and the wholeplant had a non-linear response when the cutting intervalincreased between the 42nd to 84th day. The leaf:stem ratioshowed a decrease as the pruning interval increased. Theability of the plants to re-grow was observed however, insubsequent prunings there was a low persistence onproduction. |
