Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Fertilizer did not alleviate the compaction-related detrimental effect on corn K uptake versus no fertilizer.
- Association Nitrogen use efficiency appeared reduced under corn monoculture.
- Intervention effect Corn rotation with oats or oats and seedling alfalfa was superior to continuous corn.
- Intervention effect A four-year rotation with two years of alfalfa enabled maximum fertilizer yield response, adequate nutrition and favorable soil tilth.
- Recommendation The authors recommend legume-inclusive rotations for corn production on fine-textured soils.
