On 30 September at 3.00 p.m. will take place the next presentation of the "P-Campus Lecture Series 2021" (online) organized by Leibnitz ScienceCampus Phosphorus Research Rostock.
Yue Hu from the Leibniz Institute of Plant Genetics and Crop Plant Research (IPK) will give a lecture on "P utilisation capacity of forage legumes from recycling products". The lecture will be given in English.
Abstract
Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) and red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) are important forage legumes cultivated around the world. Phosphorus (P) plays an important role in their growth, therefore P fertilisers are usually applied during their cultivation. However, the interspecific and intraspecific P efficiency of alfalfa and red clover to utilise P from different fertilisers are less well studied. A field trial and a pot experiment were conducted at the University of Rostock, North-Eastern Germany, to test the P efficiency of eight selected accessions each of alfalfa and red clover in utilising P from different sources. This lecture is based on these two experiments and will introduce some basic knowledge of alfalfa and red clover, background of P recycling products, as well as available results from the two experiments regarding plant P uptake and P efficiency of both species.
