Mineral composition of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) as influenced by liming and manure application
The objecive of this research was to assess the mineral composition of alfalfa grown on a pseudogley soil limed with carbocalc (byproduct of sugar factory, containing 70.5% CaCO3) and/or enriched with organic matter by cattle manure application. Nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, calcium, iron, manganese, zink and copper concentration were analysed in two cuts of alfalfa, grown on acid soil for three consecutive years (2002-2004).It was concluded that liming and manure application had highly significant influence on mineral composition of alfalfa, preventing possible toxic concentrations of heavy metals. Such soil amendments enable growth of this important crop on less favorable, acid soil through soil pH adjustment and regulation of plant nutrient availability, whereas plant mineral composition can differ significantly seasonally.
