Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Addition of 2500 kg/ha of lime markedly increased clover growth on soils of low pH (4.7–5.0) in the absence of seed pelleting.
- Intervention effect Seed pelleting increased clover growth in the absence of lime on low-pH soils.
- Association Lime or pelleting was accompanied by increased nodulation on one soil (pH 4.9).
- Association Lime or pelleting increased both crown and distal nodules.
- Intervention effect On soils of pH 5.3–5.5, lime and pelleting effects on clover were variable and less marked than at lower pH.
- Intervention effect On two soils (pH 5.0 and 5.4), increasing the rhizobial inoculation level markedly increased clover growth in the absence of lime and pelleting.
- Intervention effect On the soil at pH 5.4, increasing the inoculation level replaced the requirement for lime or pelleting for maximum clover growth.
- Intervention effect Lime and Gafsa-phosphate + dolomite did not differ significantly as seed pelleting materials.
