Potential of lucerne sowing rate to influence root development and its implications for field stand productivity
Original language description
The relationship between root morphology and productivity in lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) has been well documented, but the effect of sowing rate on root development is unclear. Results from three field experiments were analysed to address these objectives: (a) to investigate lucerne root development as a function of distance among plants, (b) to evaluate the effect of sowing rates on lucerne root traits and (c) to investigate the relationship between root traits and forage yield and yield components. Across experiments, higher plant density and root potential index were positively related to forage yield only when in association with better soil conditions and optimal water supply. Lower plant density offered advantages for faster root development. An effect of reduction in the sowing rate was increased stand height and increased yield in the third cut in a year with drought stress. Results show the need for investigation of effects of more precise spatial arrangement of lucerne plants to ensure op
