In southwestern Japan located in the temperate zone, palisadegrass (Urochloa brizantha [Hochst. ex A. Rich.] R.D. Webster syn. Brachiaria brizantha [A. Rich.] Stapf) cv. MG5 does not head or overwinter. Under this condition, the responses of palisadegrass to cutting height and interval were examined in a field study for three consecutive years. Treatments were the factorial combinations of three cutting heights (10, 20 and 50 cm) and two cutting intervals (2 and 4 weeks) in a randomized complete block design with four replicates. Results reconfirmed that palisadegrass does not head in this area. Although the effects of cutting height and interval vary from year to year, cutting height and interval were effective (p = .07 and p = .08, respectively) for three consecutive years. These results demonstrated that the dry matter production of palisadegrass is better adapted for higher and infrequent cutting under field conditions in this area.

割高度和间隔对木瓜产量的影响。MG5在温带

在日本西南部的温带地区，木瓜（Urochloa brizantha [ Hochst。ex A. Rich。] RD Webster syn。Brachiaria brizantha [A. Rich。] Stapf）cv。MG5不会过冬或越冬。在这种条件下，连续三年进行了野外研究，检查了木瓜对切割高度和间隔的反应。在随机完整的方块设计中，将四个切割高度（10、20和50 cm）和两个切割间隔（2和4周）以阶乘组合进行处理，并进行四次重复。结果再次证实，木瓜草不会进入该区域。尽管每年的切割高度和间隔的影响各不相同，但切割高度和间隔的影响是有效的（p  = .07和p 分别为.08）连续三年。这些结果表明，木瓜的干物质生产更适合在该地区的田间条件下进行较高且不频繁的切割。
