Tools quantifying the status of N and P in plants may help to achieve efficient management of these nutrients and to optimize crop growth and yield. The objective of this study was to establish the relationship between P and N concentrations during the regrowth of timothy (Phleum pratense L.) and, in particular, to estimate the critical P concentration required to diagnose P deficiency. The relationship between P and N concentrations was determined for timothy grown in two experiments conducted with early- and late-maturing cultivars under non-limiting N conditions in spring of 1991 and 1992, and in two experiments with four rates of N fertilization conducted in the spring of 1993 and the summer of 1994. Shoot biomass and P and N concentrations were determined weekly during each regrowth cycle. The P and N concentrations decreased with time in all four experiments. The decrease in P concentration with increasing shoot biomass was generally similar to the decrease in N concentration. The relationship betwe...
