Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Winter annual stover extract did not affect soybean germination.
- Observation Soybean roots were largest in soil from winter fallow and canola plots.
- Observation Double-crop soybean seed yield was similar among four preceding winter annual crops.
- Intervention effect Soybean roots were lighter after wheat or barley crops.
- Observation Seed germination differences were not detected among winter annual treatments.
- Observation Seed yield differences were not detected among winter annual treatments.
- Mechanism Authors suggest the reported differences among winter annual crops may reflect interactions of reduced root growth with limited water or nutrients.
