Other claims from this paper (7)
- Association Nitrogen level, defoliation interval and their interaction influenced dry matter production, nitrogen-use efficiency, dry matter content and water-use efficiency.
- Observation Total dry matter production ranged from 64 to 20 922 kg DM ha−1.
- Association Dry matter production per applied nitrogen decreased as nitrogen level increased within a defoliation interval.
- Observation Plant dry matter content ranged from 14.0% to 35.6%.
- Association Plant dry matter content increased with longer defoliation intervals.
- Association Total water use did not differ when plants received nitrogen.
- Observation Water-use efficiency ranged from 1.2 to 25.8 kg DM ha−1 mm−1 water received.
