Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Nitrogen reduced plant weight and nodule number at three sites in the first year.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen reduced second year production where vegetation cover was dense.
- Mechanism Nitrogen probably reduced establishment by inhibiting nodulation and increasing competition.
- Recommendation The authors recommend avoiding nitrogen at sowing for field Maku lotus.
- Intervention effect Increasing inoculation rate increased establishment.
- Intervention effect Higher inoculation improved nodulation, winter survival, plant growth and production.
- Intervention effect Broadcast lime improved nodulation at pH 4.6.
- Intervention effect Broadcast lime increased total production at both sites.
- Intervention effect Pelleting had a nodulation response similar to broadcast lime at pH 4.6.
- Observation The lime effect was weaker than increased inoculation and disappeared by year two.
