Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Starter N, P and S fertilizer sensitivity ranked lentil, pea and chickpea highest and faba bean lowest among six pulse crops.
- Observation Lentil, pea and chickpea could tolerate only the 10 kg N per ha starter rate.
- Observation Soybean and black bean could tolerate starter N rates of 10-20 kg N per ha.
- Intervention effect Faba bean emergence was relatively unaffected by all three starter N rates.
- Observation Faba bean showed the least sensitivity to seed-row placed fertilizer.
- Intervention effect Soybean and black bean were the most responsive pulse crops to fertilization in 30-day biomass.
