The forage yield of Gliricidia sepium during the rainy and dry seasons following pruning management in Brazil

Gliricidia sepium (Jacq.) Steud. shows relatively little growth variation due to climatic differences throughout the year and between years. The purpose of this study was to evaluate various cutting strategies for the management of Gliricidia for forage production in dry and rainy periods of the yea...
