Yield (% maximum)ConclusionThe results of these experiments show that the maximum seed yield of tall fescue was reached atabout 160 kg ha-1 of total nitrogen uptake at the end of ear emergence. The differentexperiments confirmed the validity of the nitrogen balance method. In few cases, the soilcontribution to the total requirement of the crop can be high.The total N uptake by tall fescue is equal in the different types (turf and forage) as well as indifferent year of harvest (1 rst or 2 nd harvest).Figure 1: Yield response to nitrogen uptake in aerial part, at ear emergence, for tall fescue (total of 158datasets)1008060402000 50 100 150 200 250Nitrogen uptake at ear emergence (kg/ha)78
