Title
Phosphorus Fertilization Increased Macronutrient Concentrations in Leaves of Stockpiled Tall Fescue

Other claims from this paper (4)
- Intervention effect The highest phosphorus treatment maintained leaf P and Mg above 0.2% in the second year.
- Observation Phloem mobile macronutrient concentrations declined from October to February, except nitrogen.
- Observation Leaf nitrogen reached its lowest concentration in January.
- Recommendation Producers should account for potentially low leaf macronutrient concentrations in tall fescue during late winter, especially on low plant available phosphorus soils.
