Correlation of nutrient contents in leaves and stems of Centrosema pubescens Benth., Macroptilium atropurpureum cv. siratro, and Glycine wightii Willd to the dry matter digestibility

Plants of those species were collected from 21 days up to 147 days at 21 days intervals. The material was devided into leaves and stems. Chemical analysis for N, P, K, Ca, Mg and S were run by conventional methods. The dry matter digestibility was obtained in vivo by the nylon bag technique. The correlation coefficients are:
