Other claims from this paper (10)
- Observation Residual effects of manure persisted at least three years.
- Intervention effect Manure reduced calcium concentration and uptake after two years versus fertilizer.
- Observation Calcium concentration and uptake did not differ among treatments three years after manure ceased.
- Intervention effect Magnesium concentration and uptake at the high manure rate did not differ from fertilizer in any year.
- Association Manure made orchardgrass more tetany prone than tall fescue.
- Observation The spring-harvest tissue K/(Ca+Mg) ratio reached 3.26 in orchardgrass at the highest manure rate.
- Observation The spring-harvest tissue K/(Ca+Mg) ratio reached 2.11 in tall fescue at the highest manure rate.
- Observation Without manure, tissue K/(Ca+Mg) ratios were 0.34–1.74, below the critical level.
- Observation Soil K rose from 76.8 kg ha−1 to 171.7 kg ha−1 under the highest manure treatment.
- Observation Soil K returned to its initial level after three years without manure.
