- Intervention effect Seeds mixed with SAP and soil (SMP) increased carrot germination rate by 37.6 relative to controls in the first year.
- Intervention effect Spreading dry SAP mixed with soil in furrow (PSF) increased carrot germination rate by 16.7 relative to controls in the first year.
- Intervention effect Spreading dry SAP on the soil surface then ploughing (PSP) increased carrot germination rate by 5.9% relative to controls in the first year.
- Intervention effect Seeds mixed with SAP and soil (SMP) improved carrot yield by 20 relative to controls in the first year.
- Intervention effect Spreading dry SAP mixed with soil in furrow (PSF) improved carrot yield by 14 relative to controls in the first year.
- Intervention effect Spreading dry SAP on the soil surface then ploughing (PSP) improved carrot yield by 5% relative to controls in the first year.
- Intervention effect Increasing the SAP amount from 45 to 75 kg/ha had no further effect on carrot yield for the SMP and PSP methods.
- Intervention effect Increasing the SAP amount reduced carrot germination rate for the PSF method.
