The knowledge of carbohydrate reserves in plants is very useful in planning seasons of grazing use for allotment management plans. This knowledge is helpful in propagating desirable species and can also be used to help control some less desirable plants. The attached graphs may help you plan seasons of grazing use to take advantage of the carbohydrate reserve pattern of the plants listed. This information is not intended to replace data gathered locally but might be of some use in the meantime.
