简介
The use of leguminous crops as plowdown has stimulated interest in their contribution to soil fertility. The contribution of N from single‐year plowdown to a succeeding corn (Zea mays L.) crop was evaluated in two field experiments located at Elora, Ontario, on a Guelph‐London loam series Grey‐Brown Luvisolic (Typic Hapludalf) soil. In Experiment 1, 20 cultivars of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) and 10 cultivars of red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) were compared. Experiment 2 included two cultivars each of alfalfa and red clover under three management treatments. Nitrogen yield of plowdown legumes was considered in relation to the yield and wholeplant N concentration of the succeeding corn crop. In both experiments, whole‐plant N concentration of corn was significantly higher following alfalfa than following red clover. This suggested that alfalfa N was more readily mineralized than that of red clover, as predicted …
