JoAnn F. S. Lamb; Michael P. Russelle; Michael A. Schmitt Crop Science 2005. doi:10.2135/cropsci2004.0729
Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Swine manure slurry applied 4 d after cutting in July improved reed canarygrass yields.
- Intervention effect Manure slurry applied in July had no effect or slightly improved yields of normal N2-fixing alfalfa.
- Intervention effect Alfalfa cultivars did not differ in yield response to manure applications.
- Intervention effect At one location, organic solids in the manure slurries compromised forage yields and stand scores at the highest application rate by coating and smothering the plants.
- Recommendation The authors emphasize manure testing to reduce adverse effects on alfalfa and reed canarygrass yields.
