Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect Drought increased alfalfa total phenols, saponins, tannins, flavonoids and alkaloids.
- Observation Under drought, alfalfa total phenols, tannins and flavonoids were highest in soil with 67% sand.
- Observation Alfalfa saponins were highest in 33% sand.
- Intervention effect Water stress increased alfalfa anthocyanins, lycopene and beta-carotene.
- Observation With adequate irrigation, 33% sand yielded the highest pigment amounts in alfalfa.
- Observation Under drought, pigment amounts varied among the three soil types.
- Intervention effect Water deficit increased alfalfa vitamin C, B1 and B2 amounts.
- Association Alfalfa vitamin C, B1 and B2 amounts increased with sand content.
- Intervention effect Drought increased alfalfa sodium, potassium and calcium amounts.
- Intervention effect Drought decreased alfalfa magnesium and phosphorus amounts.
- Observation All addressed mineral elements reached maximum amounts in alfalfa grown in 100% sand.
- Recommendation The authors propose low water availability to increase alfalfa medicinal efficacy.
