Abstract
Clipping little bluestem, big bluestem, and indiangrass for 3 successive years at the seed-ripened stage or later increased yields and spring-initiated tillering of plants in a prairie-like glade grassland in the Missouri Ozarks. Clipping at any time during the summer reduced yields, but clipping between floral initiation and anthesis was the most damaging to plants.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
