Other claims from this paper (10)
- Observation Nitrification was inhibited in fumigated soils, resulting in accumulation of ammonium.
- Association Plants receiving ammonium had a higher protein content.
- Association Plants receiving ammonium matured earlier.
- Association Plants receiving ammonium did not produce as much vegetative growth.
- Intervention effect High calcium levels gave the best plant growth where ammonium was the nitrogen source.
- Observation Soybeans on fumigated soils responded favorably to high calcium levels.
- Observation Soybeans on fumigated soils grew rapidly.
- Observation Soybeans on fumigated soils had a high protein content.
- Association Total mineral cation uptake on fumigated soils was less than on untreated soils.
- Recommendation A high level of calcium is necessary where ammonium is the nitrogen source.
