چکیده مقاله :
In this investigation, the effects of enclosure, restal delayed grazing andcontinued grazing treatments on the production rate and vegetation cover were studied.Study area was SadrAbad pasture. After selecting three bands (1+1+1=3 hectare area) asthree treatments in the restricted and non restricted area, they were transected to threetransects. Then plots (1×2m2 ) were selected to measure the production rate with clippingand weight method and vegetation cover was determined. The data were analyzed usingDuncan test in completely randomized block design. As the results showed, the productionand vegetation cover percentage in enclosure area, the restal delayed grazing and continuedgrazing had significant differences(p<0.01).
