How Time and Intensity of Clipping Affect Tall Bluebell

Removing 40, 70, and 100% of the foliage of tall bluebell plants for 4 consecutive years significantly reduced production, height, and stem number. Clipping during flowering and fruiting damaged plants more than treatment before flowering. Grazing systems for tall bluebell ranges should allow for deferment every two or three years to enable plants to maintain vigor and high production.This material was digitized as part of a cooperative project between the Society for Range Management and the University of Arizona Libraries.The Journal of Range Management archives are made available by the Society for Range Management and the University of Arizona Libraries.
