Data on Morpho-physiological and anatomical responses of two Urochloa hybrids under shade
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/148731
Abstract
The selection of Urochloa forage grasses that can grow under shaded environments is a critical step for the deployment of silvopastoral systems across the tropics. Plants growing in shaded environments show changes in morpho-physiological and anatomical traits for their acclimation under such conditions. Camello and Talisman are two Urochloa hybrids whose responses under shaded environments are…
