Summary

The rate of regrowth in realtion to total dry matter yield is important for smallholders fodder crop production. A simple regression technique is used to compare the rates of regrowth of eight perennial fodder crops cut at the same time. A brief interpretation and discussion of results from data illustrative of the model' use in given.
