Herbage yield of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) depends on forage management or environmental conditions that change C and N resource acquisition, and endogenous plants factors such as root organic reserves and number of active meristems. The aim of this work is to study the influence of two sowing dates in summer (12 July or 9 August), N fertilization (0 or 100 kg ha(-1)) and/or irrigation appli...

[Background] Wheat is the most important food crop, with largest planting area in world. However, production process, due to species degradation and occurrence of new diseases, antigens old varieties are lost, resulting reduced yield even no harvest. In order ensure stable increase wheat, need be updated time. By using different seasons places carry out additional generation breeding two...
