Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Annual pasture had significantly higher root biomass than alfalfa and fescue.
- Observation Mixture pasture had significantly higher root biomass than alfalfa and fescue.
- Mechanism Fescue reduced root biomass was attributed to high bulk density and low soil porosity.
- Observation Mixture pasture had the lowest soil bulk density.
- Observation Soil penetration resistance did not differ significantly among treatments.
- Observation Alternatives to alfalfa offered high production and quality with good economic return.
