Other claims from this paper (11)
- Observation Canola roots exhibited apex and root hair die-back, discoloration, and accelerated lateral rooting.
- Intervention effect Seed placed urea stunted wheat shoots and root radicles.
- Observation Deep fertilizer zones damaged primary root axes of wheat, canola, and faba.
- Mechanism Wheat seedling survival was greater as multiple seminal axes and lateral roots grew away from fertilizer.
- Mechanism Damage to canola taproots often caused seedling mortality.
- Mechanism Damage to faba taproots often caused seedling mortality.
- Observation Urea developed an expanded ammonia toxicity zone of 1.5 to 5 cm.
- Observation Chicken manure developed an expanded ammonia toxicity zone of 1.5 to 5 cm.
- Observation Canola taproot elongation stopped within three days, followed by necrosis and shrinking of root axis and hairs.
- Mechanism Elevated pH above chicken manure suggested upward ammonia transport with increased ammonium.
- Recommendation Ammonia toxicity and root architecture should be considered when selecting nitrogen placement and source.
