Fig. 1. Time schedule of measurements, and drought and foliar nitrogen treatments. The shaded area represents five drought cycles. Each of the first four drought cycles was 1 wk long, and the fifth drought cycle was 9 d long during which measurements were taken. N = foliar nitrogen treatment, M = measurements. After taking the measurements, all plants were transferred outdoor and allowed to flower and set pods with adequate watering.
