M. Duru et A. Langlet, ALFALFA AND COCKSFOOT GROWTH IN IRRIGATED AND NONIRRIGATED SOIL .1. WATER-NITROGEN INTERACTION, Agrochimica, 38(4), 1994, pp. 285-294
Eight regrowths of alfalfa and thirteen of cocksfoot were compared wit
h and without irrigation, and with two levels of nitrogen supply (cock
sfoot). We showed than a shortage of water decreased the nitrogen nutr
ition level of the berbage particularly for cocksfoot (in relation to
the amount of water supply after nitrogen supply), and to a certain ex
tent for the alfalfa (in relation to the drying up of the upper layers
of the soil).
