Table 2.

Shoot mass per plant and total plant mass (g DM plant⁻¹) of seven alfalfa cultivars (presented individually and grouped based on fall dormancy grouping) after 14 or 35 days of receiving either 100 or 25 % of their water requirement. One-tail t-tests were used to identify decreases between plants receiving 100 or 25 % of their water requirement within a cultivar. Differences are indicated by NS: P > 0.05, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001.
