Evaluations of tillering dynamics and characteristics of the individual tillers allow the changes that occur in the growth and structure of the deferred and nitrogen (N) fertilised pasture to be understood. This work was carried out to evaluate the tillering and morphological characteristics of basal tillers in deferred canopies of Brachiaria brizantha syn. Urochloa brizantha cv. Marandu (marandu palisadegrass) submitted to two N doses (50 and 200 kg ha-1). The evaluations were carried out at the beginning, middle and end of the deferment period. The experimental design was completely randomised in split-plot design with four replications. Tiller appearance rate (TAR) was higher at the beginning than in the middle and at the end of the deferment period, contrary to that observed for the number and weight of the tiller. Tiller mortality rate (TMR) was higher at the end than at the beginning and in the middle of the deferment period. The tiller population stability index (SI) was similar at the beginning and middle, but lower at the end of the deferment period. The leaf area of the tiller was higher in the middle compared to at the beginning and end of deferment. N dose did not influence TAR, TMR and SI. The canopy fertilised with 200 kg ha-1 of N presented a higher number and weight of tiller compared to the canopy fertilised with 50 kg ha-1 of N. The N increases the number and weight of tillers, but does not change tillering dynamics during the deferment period for marandu palisadegrass. The tillering decreases and the morphological composition of the tiller worsens with the increase in the deferment period in marandu palisadegrass.References
