Abstract
Samples of Ladak alfalfa were obtained over a 3-year period from fertilized plots which were irrigated at three levels, namely when available moisture within the root zone had been depleted to 75, 50, and 25% levels. The 3-year means of the 50% level of minimum available moisture were superior to both the 75% and the 25% levels in all criteria studied. The 50% level produced 19.8% more protein per acre, 32.8% more digestible cellulose per acre and the "nutritive value index" was 4.3% higher than the 25% level. The 50% level also produced 4.8% more protein per acre, 8.3% more digestible cellulose per acre, and the nutritive value index was 4.1% higher than the 75% level of minimum available soil moisture.
