Other claims from this paper (4)
- Intervention effect HM and MM manure treatments significantly increased soil water storage at tasseling stage compared with LM and CK.
- Intervention effect Dry matter accumulation and rainfall use efficiency increased as manure application rate increased.
- Intervention effect HM and MM treatments increased rainfall use efficiency by 8.6-18.1% at tasseling to grain filling stage compared with CK.
- Intervention effect No significant difference in maize biomass was found between HM and MM treatments at grain filling and maturity in 2009 and 2010.
