Increasing cutting interval significantly increased stem and total dry matter yields, significantly reduced the
percentage of leaf, but had no effect on leaf dry matter production in both years (Table 1). Mombasa
produced 17-21% more total dry matter and 18-24% more leaf dry matter than Tanzania but similar amounts
of stem dry matter and percentage of leaf (Table 1).
