Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation The estimated critical soil Mg level was 0.28 to 0.35 meq/100 g.
- Intervention effect At 0.28 meg/100 g extractable Mg, maize yield responded significantly to Mg application.
- Intervention effect All but soil 10 below 5% CEC Mg saturation responded to Mg.
- Intervention effect Soils above 7% Mg saturation did not respond to Mg application.
- Association Maize Mg deficiency symptoms were associated with initial soil Mg of 0.17 meq/100 g or less.
- Observation The estimated critical Mg level is much lower than average Mg in western Nigerian soils.
