Abstract

Pennisetum americanum cv. Gahi-3 grown in a controlled environment was treated 22 days after sowing with 0.14, 0.28, 0.56 or 1.12 kg mefluidide/ha. Total N and nitrate-N content of whole plants and leaves 21 days after treatment increased significantly and linearly with increasing rates of mefluidide application. N content was inversely related to DM yield and it was suggested that application of >0.56 kg mefluidide could significantly reduce DM yield and result in levels of nitrate-N which would be toxic to livestock
