Abstract

Knowledge of the morphological and physiological characteristics of the grasses is of utmost importance for management strategies are applied that promotes the sward, given that over 90% of the Brazilian cattle herd is created exclusively in it. Analyzing the situations of our pastures we can conclude that more than 50% are in some degradation process, this happens due to lack of information on how to properly manage our pastures and not seek a grass that will solve the problems. So this review approached the mechanisms of plant growth so that we can have a better understanding about them.
