Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation Alfalfa root TNC cycled through use and storage after removal and regrowth.
- Observation Seedling alfalfa root TNC exceeded 150 g kg −1 by 10 June.
- Observation Seedling alfalfa root TNC exceeded 450 g kg −1 by first harvest.
- Observation Seedling birdsfoot trefoil root TNC stayed below 70 g kg −1 through mid-September.
- Observation Birdsfoot trefoil showed less TNC cycling than alfalfa.
- Observation Annual lespedeza root TNC averaged approximately 20 g kg −1 before harvest.
- Observation Annual lespedeza root TNC remained below 40 g kg −1 through the season.
- Intervention effect Six-centimetre harvesting reduced annual lespedeza root TNC versus 12 cm and no harvest for about five weeks.
- Recommendation Authors suggest retaining leaf area at lespedeza harvest for regrowth.
