INTENSITY OF ALFALFA LEAF MASS REGENERATION AT TEARING OUT THE LEAFS AND CUTTING OF GRASS STAND
The article is devoted to research of alfalfa leaf mass regeneration intensity at removal leaves from growing stems and at grass stand cutting depending on stage of development. It has been found, that tearing leaves out in budding stage conduces leaf mass regeneration in 40 vegetation days by 97,2%, at cutting - by 28,5%; in initial blossom stage - by 82,2% and 35,2% respectively; and in full blossom stage - by 65,3% and 55,7% respectively.
