Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Higher aluminum treatments severely impaired soybean shoot growth.
- Intervention effect Higher aluminum treatments severely impaired soybean root growth.
- Observation Aluminum toxicity seriously impaired growth from 50 mg Al kg −1.
- Observation Soybeans hardly grew at 100 mg Al kg −1.
- Intervention effect Wheat straw substantially improved soybean growth in aluminum toxic soil.
- Intervention effect Lime substantially improved soybean growth in aluminum toxic soil.
- Intervention effect Wheat straw produced taller soybean plants than lime alone.
- Intervention effect Wheat straw produced greater root dry weight than lime alone.
- Observation Straw treated soybean shoots retained 3.7–7.4 mmol kg −1 aluminum with little detectable damage.
- Intervention effect Shoot nitrogen content tended to decrease with wheat straw.
- Observation The authors concluded organic matter was as effective as lime in reducing aluminum toxicity.
