Other claims from this paper (13)
- Intervention effect ALS treatment significantly reduced potato scab severity by 50-80% in the year of application at all sites.
- Intervention effect Potato scab was significantly lower for the second crop at sites K and G after ALS treatment.
- Intervention effect ALS treatment significantly decreased the incidence of Verticillium dahliae infected potato plants by 40-50% at all sites in the year of application and for the second crop at site K.
- Intervention effect Ammonium lignosulfonate significantly increased total tuber yield by 2.5 times at site G in 2000.
- Intervention effect ALS treatment had no effect on tuber yield at the other sites.
- Intervention effect Marketable potato yield was consistently higher in subsequent crops at all sites after ALS treatment, without statistical significance across sites.
- Intervention effect Marketable potato yield in subsequent crops was statistically significant at site G after ALS treatment.
- Intervention effect ALS application immediately reduced soil pH by 0.4-0.6 units at all sites except site W.
- Intervention effect ALS application had no effect on soil pH at site W.
- Intervention effect Soil pH returned to control levels by the second season at all sites except site G after ALS treatment.
- Intervention effect Soil pH at site G remained one log unit lower than the control treatment after ALS treatment.
- Intervention effect ALS application increased soil microorganism numbers two- to eight-fold at all sites within weeks.
- Intervention effect ALS treatment increased fungal numbers most at site K, and they remained elevated for two seasons compared with control plots.
