Description:
<jats:p>Clipping Bermuda grass every few days in its first year of growth to keep it at 6 different heights resulted in a variation of weights for both roots and tops in the harvested plants. The higher the grass was permitted to grow the greater the weight of both roots and tops but the root/shoot ratio remained constant at about 40% roots to tops. The dry weight of tops in unclipped plots was about 2.35 times and the roots 2.0 times those in plots maintained at 12 mm.</jats:p>
