Other claims from this paper (16)
- Intervention effect D-D fumigation raised sugar beet root yield from 25 to 36 t/ha.
- Intervention effect Additional nitrogen beyond 85 kg N/ha gave little yield benefit.
- Intervention effect Fumigation killed 65 % of Pratylenchus in the top 5 cm.
- Intervention effect Fumigation killed 80% of Trichodorus in the top 5 cm.
- Intervention effect Fumigation killed 90% of Tylenchorhynchus in the top 5 cm.
- Intervention effect Fumigation killed 90% of Pratylenchus at 15–20 cm depth.
- Intervention effect Fumigation killed 93% of Trichodorus at 15–20 cm depth.
- Intervention effect Fumigation killed 95% of Tylenchorhynchus at 15–20 cm depth.
- Association Yield gains from fumigation did not correlate with initial nematode populations.
- Association Yield gains from fumigation correlated poorly with May rainfall.
- Association Nematode population increases from April to August correlated positively with preceding ten week rainfall.
- Association Nematode population increases correlated positively with rainfall in the previous week.
- Mechanism Fumigation improved root health and nitrogen use efficiency.
- Intervention effect Fumigation increased soil available nitrogen.
- Intervention effect Fumigation decreased nitrogen loss by leaching.
- Intervention effect Injected anhydrous ammonia did not affect nematode populations.
