Decreasing Defoliation Frequency Enhances <i>Bromus valdivianus</i> Phil. Growth under Low Soil Water Levels and Interspecific Competition

<i>Bromus valdivianus</i> Phil. (Bv) is a water stress-tolerant species, but its competitiveness in a diverse pasture may depend on defoliation management and soil moisture levels. This glasshouse study examined the effect of three defoliation frequencies, based on accumulated growing de...
