Other claims from this paper (12)
- Association Mean grain yield across fertilizer and manure treatments decreased from MNPK to the check.
- Intervention effect Yield response to applied N and P increased with time.
- Observation Yields in the check plots declined with time.
- Intervention effect Potassium fertilizer application gave no increase in grain yield during the initial 6 yr.
- Intervention effect Potassium fertilizer application gave a slight increase in grain yield during the next 5 yr.
- Intervention effect Potassium fertilizer application gave a dramatic increase in grain yield during the last 8 yr.
- Association Straw yield response to fertilizers and M was similar to the grain yield response.
- Intervention effect Fertilizers increased the mean harvest index (HI).
- Intervention effect Crude protein concentration and N uptake in grain and straw increased markedly with fertilizers.
- Intervention effect Manure (M) increased crude protein concentration and N uptake in grain and straw further than fertilizers alone.
- Intervention effect Fertilizers (N, NP, and NPK) increased nitrate-N accumulation in most subsoil layers.
- Recommendation Balanced application of chemical fertilizers and M at proper rates is important to protect soil and groundwater from nitrate-N pollution while sustaining crop production.
