Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Late rye killing produced more mulch than early killing.
- Intervention effect Late killing decreased soil water content at soybean planting in Delhi in 1989.
- Observation Mulch amount decreased substantially through the season.
- Intervention effect Later-season soil water and temperature differed little between mulch and no mulch.
- Intervention effect Extreme temperatures occurred more often under bare soil.
- Association Extreme temperatures did not change soybean development rates.
- Observation Early soybean growth reduction in one of four location-years vanished later.
- Intervention effect Rye mulch increased seeds per pod and nodule number.
- Intervention effect Soybean yields did not differ among treatments.
