The effect of seasonal variations, covariations with minerals and forage value on itchgrass’ foliar silicification from sudanian benin
Silica (SiO2) in forage grasses has been found in reducing cell-wall digestibility. This study investigates whether: (i) the seasonal variability affects the silica and minerals accumulation and forage values of leaves of R. cochinchinensis and (ii) [...]
