Figure Lengend Snippet: Analysis of the influence of irrigation-fertilization management on alfalfa (WL354HQ and Xinmu No.4) seed yield and its correlation with AP and AN contents. (A–D) represents the relationship between alfalfa seed yield and the input amounts of N, P, and K as well as the irrigation volume. (E, F) represents the relationship between alfalfa seed yield and soil AP and AN contents. Polynomial fitting determines that the error zone (shaded area) corresponds to the 95% confidence interval of the relationship, and the red line represents the linear trend line. The abbreviations used in the picture are: Yield denotes seed yield, AP denotes available phosphorus contents, AN denotes alkali-hydrolyzable nitrogen contents.
