Table 1 Column set-up for the Lolium perenne monocropping experiment

From: Real-time monitoring of rhizosphere nitrate fluctuations under crops following defoliation

  1. Columns were managed as colour coded and as follows; green for planting with 100% L. perenne seedlings, cv. Aber Magic, at seeding rate of 43.7 kg ha−1; blue for day 0 nitrate application with KNO3 treatments equivalent to 57 kg ha−1; purple for day 28 total aboveground vegetative defoliation with biomass measurement. All columns with crops growing were cut on day 56 for biomass totals, and in the case of ‘Monocrop 3′ this was added to the day 28 measurement
