The effect of the soil compaction on the contents of alfalfa root reserve nutrients in relation to the stand density and the amount of root biomass

Soil and Water Research, 2007
The reserve root nutrients influence the overwintering, regrowth, yield, and persistence of alfalfa plants. The total amount of the root reserves is considered more important than their concentration.

Forage and Seed Production of Field Bean Respond Differently to Nitrogen Fertilization and Sowing Rate

Agronomy
The rising demand for plant proteins and climate change highligth the need for adaptable legume crops. A three-year field experiment examined forage and seed production, as well as nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) accumulation in an indeterminate field ...

Assessment of the Standardized Precipitation and Evaporation Index (SPEI) as a Potential Management Tool for Grasslands

Agronomy, 2019
Early warning of detrimental weather and climate (particularly drought) on forage production would allow for tactical decision-making for the management of pastures, supplemental feed/forage resources, and livestock.

Soil nutrient management: fueling agroecosystem sustainability

International Journal of Agricultural Sustainability, 2020
Agricultural production must approximately double to support global population by 2050. Practices optimizing crop yield, nutrient use efficiency (NUE; fraction of applied nutrient taken up by crop) and environmental quality are essential.
