Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Soil fumigation significantly increased sugarcane productivity.
- Intervention effect Breaking monoculture significantly increased sugarcane productivity.
- Observation Treatments decreased cane-specific pathogen numbers.
- Observation Treatments increased mineral nitrogen concentrations in soil solution.
- Observation Treatments had little or no effect on soil concentrations and availability of P, K and Si.
- Mechanism Increased plant nutrient uptake was attributed to greater root surface area and soil exploitation.
- Recommendation Maintaining or increasing potassium and silicon concentration in plant biomass was proposed as an index of root function.
