Resumo
The present paper deals with the influence of four different leaf-cutting cycles combined with three levels of severity of cutting upon the life cycle of sisal plant (Agave sisalana Perrine). According to the results obtained, it may be concluded that less frequent cutting induces the plant to pole earlier, and greater severity of cutting prolongs its life eyele.
