Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect Compost application was associated with the highest accumulation of essential macronutrients in rice grain.
- Intervention effect No significant differences in macronutrients were found in rice leaves with compost application.
- Observation Macronutrients were absorbed in rice in the sequence K = N > Ca > P > = S > Mg.
- Observation Micronutrients were absorbed in rice in the sequence Fe > Mn > Zn > Cu > B.
- Intervention effect Amendments did not affect vegetative growth of rice.
- Intervention effect Amendments visibly influenced reproductive growth of rice.
- Intervention effect Compost induced superior rice yield values compared with the control.
- Intervention effect Sugarcane filter cake induced superior rice yield values compared with the control.
- Intervention effect Leonardite induced superior rice yield values compared with the control.
- Intervention effect Amendments were associated with significant differences in panicle length, filled-grain proportion and mainly 1000-seed weight of rice.
- Intervention effect Compost gave a grain-straw relationship of 0.65 in rice.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that compost is the best amendment for these saline soils because its response was superior to or not exceeded by any other amendment.
