A. S. aThe use of a response surface design in the agronomic evaluation of a grasslegume mixture under grazing. aFlorida : University of Floridac1976 a232p. aTese Doutorado. aA grass-legume pasture composed primarily of coastcross-1 bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon (L.), Pers.) and greenleaf desmodium (Desmodium intortum (Mill) Urb.) was evaluated in a grazing trial during 182 days in the growing season of 1975 at the beef research unit, University of Florida, Gainesville. The pasture was established in 1974 on a soil of the sparr series associated with the blanton series. The main objectives of the study were (a) to determine the effect of grazing period (X1), rest period (X2), and grazing pressure (X3) upon the pasture mixture, (b) to evaluate a response surface design for the statistical analysis of the experiment, and (c) to evaluate the forage residual dry matter as an estimator of grazing presure. Grazing periods studied were 1,2,5,7,10.5, and 14 days; rest periods were 0,14,28,42 and 56 days; and projected grazing pressures were .5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, and 2.5 metric tons/ha of dry matter (DM) leaf after grazing. Modifid mon-rotatable central composite design made up of eight factorial, six axial, one central, and five extra treatments was used to study the response surface of the individual response variables. adry matter content aFlorida agrazing intensity amixed grazing apastures aEstatística aManejo aPastagem aSistema de Pastejo aTaxa de Crescimento aTaxa de Lotação aVeterinária aZootecnia aAnalise de regressao aAvaliacao agronomica aConsorciacao aConsumo de matéria seca aConsumption aDelineamentos experimentais aForrageira aForrageiras aGrazing systems aGrowth rate aIntensidade do pastejo aManagement aManejo de pastagem aPastagens aPastejo misto aStocking density aSuperficie de resposta aTropicos
