Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Inoculation had no effect in 118 comparisons.
- Intervention effect Inoculation produced a negative response in three comparisons.
- Observation Most positive inoculation responses occurred on wet peaty podzol or deep peat soils.
- Observation One of five sites with increased first-year clover dry matter production was brown earth.
- Association Positive agronomic responses occurred only with high nodulation and more than 50% introduced Rhizobium strains in nodules.
- Observation Negative seedling responses occurred only for Huia on one brown earth and two dry peaty podzol soils.
- Intervention effect Overall inoculation tended to improve white clover seedling establishment and early growth, although individual sites lacked statistical significance.
- Intervention effect Spraying Rhizobium onto emerging seedlings showed some microbiological benefit over peat inoculum at two sites.
- Intervention effect Seed-bed nitrogen adversely affected white clover germination, establishment and growth in some soils.
- Observation Nitrogen effects sometimes persisted into the first harvest year.
