Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Legume residual differences did not affect sorghum on average.
- Intervention effect Potassium fertilization increased yield by 11%.
- Intervention effect Potassium fertilization reduced stalk rot severity by 20%.
- Intervention effect Sorghum responses to nitrogen were greatest with chloride, especially in a stressful year.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen without chloride in 1995 caused more than 20% lodging.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen without chloride in 1995 left about 80% of the bottom 10 nodes with stalk rot evidence.
- Intervention effect Combined nitrogen and chloride increased yield by about 20%.
- Recommendation The authors recommend potassium and chloride with nitrogen to improve yield and suppress disease and lodging.
