Other claims from this paper (12)
- Observation Reducing conditions developed regardless of carbon source or rate.
- Intervention effect High rates of corn gluten meal, distillers dried grains, soybean meal, and wheat bran gave the lowest root rot severity.
- Intervention effect Higher byproduct rates reduced root rot more than lower rates.
- Intervention effect Soybean meal and corn gluten meal at both rates increased dry root and shoot biomass.
- Intervention effect Four cover crop amendments reduced root rot relative to aerobic control.
- Intervention effect Cover crop amendments did not reduce root rot relative to anaerobic control.
- Intervention effect Cover crops did not significantly affect plant biomass.
- Observation Low soil temperatures limited treatment efficacy.
- Observation Reducing conditions developed in all ASD-treated soils.
- Intervention effect Soybean meal reduced root rot severity relative to distillers dried grains.
- Intervention effect Wheat middlings reduced root rot severity relative to distillers dried grains.
- Intervention effect ASD treatment did not significantly affect tomato yield.
