Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Nitrogen at rates up to 360 kg/ha added for the preceding year's corn had no effect on soybean yields.
- Intervention effect Organic N sources such as manure or alfalfa did not increase soybean yields.
- Intervention effect Combinations of organic and inorganic N sources did not increase soybean yields.
- Intervention effect Fertilizer N added for soybean as plow-down, disked-in, and side-dressed at early flowering and at pod filling did not increase yields.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen added for soybeans planted on four dates did not increase yields.
- Intervention effect Across all studies, yields were significantly increased by N fertilizer in only 3 of 133 instances, at high, uneconomical N rates.
- Mechanism The authors conclude that N available to the plant is not the factor that presently limits soybean yields in Illinois.
