Experiments have been carried out to determine the effect of crushing, under laboratory conditions, on the respiratory changes in pasture plants during drying. Results are presented to show that crushing often causes some stimulation of respiration but that the increase is not proportional to the amount of injury produced. Crushing increases the rate of drying, so the respiration of crushed material ceases much sooner than that of uncrushed material.
