OM, organic matter; CP, crude protein; NDF, neutral detergent fiber (ligning, cellulose, and hemi-cellulose); ADF, acid detergent fiber (ADF; lignin and cellulose); HC, hemi-cellulose (HC = NDF – ADF); and EE, extract ether (crude fat). Variable Flowering had two levels: flowered site and un-flowered site. Variable Part had three levels: leaf, branch, and culm. ∗P < 0.05, ∗∗P < 0.01, ∗∗∗P < 0.001. Numbers in parenthesis represent numerator and denominator df.
