Comparison of a Conventional Harvesting Technique in Alfalfa and Red Clover with a Leaf Stripping Technique Regarding Dry Matter Yield, Total Leaf Mass, Leaf Portion, Crude Protein and Amino Acid Contents

Comparison of a Conventional Harvesting Technique in Alfalfa and Red Clover with a Leaf Stripping Technique Regarding Dry Matter Yield, Total Leaf Mass, Leaf Portion, Crude Protein and Amino Acid Contents

In this study, we compared an innovative stripping technique with a conventional whole plant harvesting technique for alfalfa and red clover to develop an approach to regional production of proteins and amino acids. While the stems were harvested separately, the leaves were fractionated by stripping...
