Abstract

This work studied Setaria anceps behaviour when nebutization was made with gibberellic acid. Twelve plots of grass (25 m2 each) received the following treatments: zero (To); 35 ppm (T1); and 70 ppm of gibberellin (T2). The grasses were cut at 5 cm from the soil, 3 and 6 weeks after treatments application. The statistical model was completely randonmized, in a split-plot arrangement. The results showed 60% more dry matter production with gibberellin, but there was no difference between the gibberellin levels (T1 and T2 ). The results showed also decreased protein levels. In T1 and T2, against to probably because of increased vertical growth and levels dispersion; visually the effect was yellow tonisn in the leaves.
