Other claims from this paper (12)
- Observation The root to shoot ratio declined to 0.36 by final harvest.
- Intervention effect Irrigation and inoculation did not affect root to shoot ratio.
- Observation Maximum root dry matter growth rate was 16 g/m2/d.
- Intervention effect Treatment significantly affected nodule score.
- Intervention effect Treatment significantly affected final dry matter yield.
- Intervention effect Treatment significantly affected seed yield.
- Intervention effect Fully irrigated lentils produced 736 g/m2 dry matter versus 509 g/m2 without irrigation.
- Intervention effect Fully irrigated lentils produced 320 g/m2 seed versus 193 g/m2 without irrigation.
- Intervention effect Rhizobium inoculation doubled nodule score at 46 days after sowing.
- Intervention effect The inoculation difference in nodule score disappeared by 56 days after sowing.
