Description
This research was carried out in 1997, at the “Centro de Ciências Agrárias” of the “Universidade Federal de São Carlos”, in Araras, SP, Brazil, to evaluate the behavior of three growth stages (S1 = initial vegetative stage, S2 = full vegetative stage, and S3 = reproductive stage) of the “Crioula” alfalfa cultivar, in the presence of four water levels (L1 = 100%, L2 = 80%, L3 = 45-50% and, L4 =20-25% of a sprinkler irrigation) in a field trial. Growth stages changed according to water levels, and S2 stage was the most affected by water supply, while S1 was the least one and water showed to be a negative factor to plant establishment.
