Agronomic Characteristics and Productivity of Winter Forage Crop in Sihwa Reclaimed Field

Assessment of growing condition variables on alfalfa productivity

“…Since optimum alfalfa root and shoot growth were reported around 25°C [ 16 , 17 ], the two variables related to the daily temperature higher than 25°C were added to the model in the form of duration day and accumulated temperature. The temperature causing daily temperature higher than 25°C was calculated by adopting 25°C as a base temperature [ 1 , 8 , 18 ]. For the evaluation of winter temperature impact, the daily mean and daily low temperatures of January were considered.…”

“…Research has indicated environmental influences such as temperature, precipitation, and soil physical and chemical characteristics on alfalfa ( Medicago sativa L.) biomass production [ 1 - 5 ]. Kim et al [ 6 ] were able to develop an alfalfa yield prediction model with climate and soil variables.…”
