Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Alfalfa plant height and fresh weight per plant were lower on alfalfa-soil than on sorghum-soil.
- Intervention effect Sorghum fresh weight per plant was lower on alfalfa-soil than on sorghum-soil.
- Intervention effect Alfalfa germination percentage was unaffected by the preceding crop.
- Intervention effect Sorghum germination percentage was unaffected by the preceding crop.
- Intervention effect Sorghum plant height was unaffected by the preceding crop.
- Observation The alfalfa-soil and sorghum-soil differed in nutrient content.
- Intervention effect Soil incorporation of fresh alfalfa roots only, or roots and shoots, reduced alfalfa emergence, plant height and dry weight per plant.
- Mechanism Water-soluble inhibitory compounds from alfalfa shoot appeared to act primarily on germination and radicle elongation, radicle elongation being more sensitive.
- Observation Alfalfa allelopathy seems to be more severe than autotoxicity.
