Theexperiment was conducted using split plots in a completely randomized experimental designof ten replications to find the best grazing intensity. Treatments are including no harvest (as acontrol), 25, 50 and 75% harvest. In each treatment, 10 similar and average plant species wereselected as replications. All dependent variables were evaluated during the study and resultswere analyzed in SAS software. Results showed Minimum and maximum forage productionwas obtained at 25% harvest in 2008 and no harvest treatment in 2009, respectively. Regardingto the obtained results and soil condition, the 50% harvesting intensity is recommended inDehno site to maintain the vigority of Artemisia sieberi that is not dangerous for its survival,healthiness and vigority even in drought conditions.
