Did you know that the actual time of day can have an effect on pasture sugar levels? As light density increases so does the photosynthesis rate. The photosynthesis is the process of converting light into sugar. This process continues throughout the day and ends a few hours after sundown. It often isn’t until the depths of the night before the plant has processed its photosynthetic goods and returned to its baseline, waiting for the next day’s sunlight. This means that the early morning period can be the most favorable time for low sugar grazing.
Good to know. Thanks for sharing!
