Contribution of legumes to the availability of soil nitrogen and its uptake by wheat in Mediterranean environments of central Chile

The absorption and partitioning of N is determined by its availability and demand during the various phenological stages of the crop. In two experiments conducted in rainfed areas of the Mediterranean climate region of central Chile, legume-wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) rotations were compared to oat...

Contribution of legumes to the availability of soil nitrogen and its uptake by wheat in Mediterranean environments of central Chile
description The absorption and partitioning of N is determined by its availability and demand during the various phenological stages of the crop.
