Verbatim
e0“Crapemyrtle ( Lagerstroemia indica ) grown in plots amended with 3 or 6 inches of pine bark plus cotton gin waste (CGW3 or CGW6) and pine bark plus nitrogen at 3- or 6-inch rates (PBN3 or PBN6) produced greater shoot growth than other amendment treatments.”

Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Pine bark amendment altered soil bulk density and compaction and improved plant growth.
- Intervention effect Adding nitrogen to pine bark improved plant growth compared with bark alone.
- Intervention effect Adding cotton gin waste to pine bark improved plant growth compared with bark alone.
- Intervention effect Pine bark plus nitrogen at 3 and 6 inches enhanced pansy growth.
- Intervention effect Pine bark plus cotton gin waste at 6 inches enhanced pansy growth.
- Intervention effect Pine bark at 3 or 6 inches reduced vinca size and flower production.
- Intervention effect Cotton gin waste with bark at 3 or 6 inches increased crapemyrtle shoot growth over other amendments.
- Intervention effect Pine bark alone at 3 inches sometimes suppressed growth.
- Mechanism The authors attribute improved growth partly to nitrogen and salts from CGW and PBN amendments.
