Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Bone char applied at 1000 mg P kg -1 increased dry matter yield of potatoes.
- Intervention effect Wheat showed no response in the response variable to any bone char application level.
- Intervention effect Wheat P concentration increased after bone char application.
- Intervention effect Onion plant P concentration was unaffected by bone char application.
- Intervention effect Potato plant P concentration decreased after bone char application.
- Intervention effect Ca(H2PO4)2 increased dry matter yield and P concentration relative to the non-fertilized control.
- Mechanism Inconsistent yield and P concentration after bone char application are most likely caused by insufficient incubation time.
- Recommendation Bone char might be a potential P fertilizer for potatoes, wheat and onions.
