摘要
The drying of Italian ryegrass (RvP) tillers under controlled conditions at three stages of growth is described. The rate of water loss was dependent on tiller morphology as well as on water content. Leaf laminae dried faster than stems and also aided the loss of water from stems. Drying time was shortest for vegetative tillers despite their high water content, and longest for reproductive tillers shortly before ear emergence. The practical implications in relation to haymaking are discussed. Copyright © 1979, Wiley Blackwell. All rights reserved
