Total N, total exogenous N, and allocation of exogenous N within alfalfa plants after 29 d of post-cutting regrowth

			Allocation of total exogenous N within the plant (% of total exogenous N)
	Total N (mg N plant⁻¹)	Total exogenous N (mg N plant⁻¹)	Regrowing shoots	Remaining shoots	Taproot	Lateral roots
HNL+	305·61 ± 16·83^c	187·73 ± 28·82^c	65·75 ± 4·29^a	5·68 ± 0·44^a	10·12 ± 0·32^c	18·45 ± 2·62^b
HNL−	254·22 ± 27·40^b	156·28 ± 35·61^bc	68·43 ± 5·78^a	5·07 ± 0·15^a	6·95 ± 0·12^a	19·55 ± 2·01^b
LNL+	235·41 ± 8·89^b	141·62 ± 16·66^b	71·46 ± 6·18^a	7·99 ± 0·96^b	9·03 ± 0·49^b	11·52 ± 1·99^a

Total N and total exogenous N values are means ± s.e. for n = 3.

Exogenous N allocation values are given as percentage ± s.e. of total exogenous N per plant for n = 3.

Values within columns without a common letter (a, b, bc, or c) are significantly different, according to Newman and Keuls' test at P < 0·05.
