Other claims from this paper (10)
- Association Root growth of the crops was much poorer in the more acid soil profiles, particularly between 10 and 40 cm depth.
- Observation All species showed good root growth in soil from unimproved native pasture.
- Intervention effect Liming throughout the profile reduced exchangeable aluminium to about 1 microgram per g.
- Intervention effect Liming increased root lengths in the most acid profile by about 60% (0-40 cm depth).
- Intervention effect The liming increase in shoot yield was greatest for lucerne (400%).
- Intervention effect The liming increase in shoot yield of wheat was 39%.
- Intervention effect The liming increase in shoot yield of rape was 26%.
- Intervention effect Liming only the surface horizon (0-10 cm) had little effect on most species.
- Intervention effect Liming the surface horizon substantially improved root length of lucerne (75%).
- Intervention effect Liming the surface horizon substantially improved shoot yield of lucerne (300%).
