Measurements of physical strength and their relationship to the chemical composition of four species of Brachiaria

Shear strength and grinding resistance of leaves of four species of Brachiaria collected at 4 and 6 weeks of re-growth were determined using modifications of techniques described in the literature. Physical attributes of strength were correlated with analyses of plant cell wall constituents and in v...
