Effect of Increasing Doses of Mineral Nitrogen Fertilization on Chemical Composition of Lucerne (Medicago Sativa L.) Under Optimum Water Supply and Water Deficiency Stress

Abstract: Abstract:The effect of increasing doses of mineral nitrogen fertilization (40, 80, 120 and 160 mg N kg -1 soil) on chemical composition of lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) was studied in pot trial at the Institute of Forage Crops, Pleven, Bulgaria. The plants were grown under optimum water supply (75-80% FC) and 10-days water deficiency stress (37-40% FC) at the stage of budding of lucerne. It was found that with increasing doses of mineral nitrogen fertilization, crude protein content in dry aboveground mass i… Show more

“…In regard to nutrient concentration, it seems that differences between treatments could be detected mainly in roots in comparison with lucerne forage, where no differences were observed. Obtained values of nutrient concentration are in correspondence with results of Vasileva (2013). The higher nodulation intensity, root N concentration and uptake by Oslava variety support the idea that it could be related to its improved N 2 fixation, when breeding for this property was described by C h l o u p e k et al (1996).…”

“…Furthermore, the fact that also N 2 fixation naturally enhanced phosphatase activity (H o u l t o n et al, 2008) must be taken into account. It must be also remembered, that the water deficiency stress could changed nutrient concentration and uptake in lucerne forage (Vasileva, 2013) Forage N concentration showed inverse relation to the DMY in the cuts, indicating a dilution effect in accordance with O l i v i e r a et al (2004). However, neither variety, seed inoculation, nor their interaction influenced forage N concentration or uptake.…”

“…Varieties and their genetic characteristics crucially determine the volume and stability of yield, as well as the quality of alfalfa forage [STANISAVLJEVIĆ, 2008, SAMFIRA et al, 20142012;BUTU et al, 2014a, STOLERU et al, 2016 . Growth stage, cut number, stand density, moisture conditions at harvest and processing method are the most important causes of variation for yield of alfalfa [VERONESI et al, 2010;VASILEVA, 2013, PETRACHE et al, 2014, BARBAT 2013, BUTU et al, 2015 .…”
