Verbatim
e1“the applications of different levels of cobalt (10 -50) mg/kgsoil led to an increase in biomass accumulation and yield responses to cobalt”
e2“using Alfalfa (Vernal variety) as a test plant”
e4“always accompanied by increasing nitrogen phosphorous and potassium concentrations in both shoots and roots and protein content of shoot”

Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Cobalt at 10-50 mg/kg soil increased alfalfa biomass accumulation and yield.
- Intervention effect Cobalt at 10-50 mg/kg soil increased nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium concentrations in alfalfa shoots and roots.
- Intervention effect Cobalt increased nodule formation and photosynthetic pigment content in alfalfa.
- Intervention effect The 50 mg Co/kg soil level gave the highest value of all studied parameters, with a significant difference.
- Intervention effect Gradual decline in the studied parameters was observed with increasing cobalt levels.
- Association Shoot cobalt content increased significantly with increasing cobalt level (R 2 = 0.956).
- Association Root cobalt content increased significantly with increasing cobalt level (R 2 = 9839 as printed).
- Association Nodule cobalt content increased significantly with increasing cobalt level (R 2 = 0.9564).
- Observation Root cobalt content was higher than shoot cobalt content.
- Recommendation The authors recommend applying 50 mg Co/kg soil for alfalfa growth in a soil with high lime content.
