Description

The carbohydrate content of shoots was de­creased by both defoliation and nitrogen fertili­zation. In connection with these responses high nitrogen doses applied immediately after defoliation inhibited plant growth. From these results some implications in regard to intensive grassland farming and to breeding of forage grasses are derived.

Yield formation and carbohydrate content of Lolium perenne L. depending on nitrogen fertilization and cutting height
