Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation Nitrate moved faster in Agawam than Occum soil.
- Observation Soil-water nitrate under alfalfa was higher in summer and fall than spring.
- Intervention effect High manure raised soil-water nitrate in fall 1991 on Occum soil.
- Intervention effect High fertilizer N increased soil-water nitrate.
- Intervention effect Low manure had no significant effect on herbage dry matter yield or N accumulation.
- Intervention effect Low manure had no significant effect on soil nitrate across three depths.
- Observation High-manure dry matter yield at South Deerfield was lower in 1991–1992.
- Observation At Sunderland, yield did not differ significantly.
- Recommendation The authors recommend low-rate dairy manure for established alfalfa.
