| description | The productive capacity of eight selected tropical grasses was evaluated in grazing trials on different soils and in different rainfall zones in the Virgin Islands. Productive capacity was measured as livestock-sustaining capacity. profits in the animal and meat production. The shepherds and the soils were different in their productive capacity. The general performance of the pangols grass Digitaria decumbens Stent, in livestock-sustaining capacity, animal weight gains, and meat production, was superior to those of the other seven grasses included in the trials. In descending order of productive capacity, the soils were Granard Clay loam, San Anton clay loam, Fredensborg clay, and Cornbill clay loam. |
