Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Nitrogen source did not significantly affect soybean dry matter except under sole ammonium at pH 4.5.
- Intervention effect Sole ammonium at pH 4.5 decreased soybean dry matter.
- Intervention effect Sole ammonium at pH 4.5 decreased soybean total N accumulation.
- Association A greater ammonium proportion increased soybean shoot-to-root ratios at all pH levels.
- Association The absorbed proportion of each nitrogen ion increased with its proportion in solution at every pH.
- Observation In mixed nitrogen solution at pH 6.0, soybean absorbed ammonium over nitrate at a 2:1 ratio.
- Association Declining root-zone pH decreased soybean ammonium uptake.
- Association Declining root-zone pH increased soybean nitrate uptake.
- Association The soybean ammonium-to-nitrate uptake ratio declined as root-zone pH decreased.
- Mechanism Authors hypothesized that low pH inhibits ammonium-dependent soybean growth through reduced ammonium uptake and nitrogen stress.
