Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Greenhouse ridging increased functional nodal roots from 38.4 to 50.0, a 30% increase.
- Intervention effect Ridging significantly increased the lengths of soil-covered internodes 6 and 7 in the greenhouse.
- Intervention effect Ridging increased average internode 7 length from 64 mm to 101 mm.
- Intervention effect Greater ridge height increased internode length in controlled greenhouse experiments, but not in the field.
- Intervention effect Greater ridge height increased nodal root number in controlled greenhouse experiments, but not in the field.
- Intervention effect Ridge-till produced significantly more functional nodal roots than no-till in the field in 1992 and 1993.
- Intervention effect Ridge-till produced significantly more functional nodal roots than chisel-plow in the field in 1992.
- Intervention effect No-till plants had 53.1 functional nodal roots in 1992 versus 58.7 under ridge-till.
- Intervention effect Ridging and tillage did not affect shoot dry weight in greenhouse or field studies.
- Intervention effect Ridging and tillage did not affect grain yield in greenhouse or field studies.
