e0“Field experiments were conducted during the 2003 and 2004 cropping seasons at Umudike, Southeastern Nigeria, to assess the effect of liming on the performance of four high yielding soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merril] varieties”
e1“Liming significantly increased soil pH, number of nodules and number of pods per plant and grain yield, especially in 2004 but did not significantly influence plant height, shoot dry matter, days to 50% flowering and 100-seed weight”

Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Liming significantly increased the number of nodules, number of pods per plant and grain yield of soybean, especially in 2004.
- Intervention effect Liming significantly increased soil pH in the soybean field experiments.
- Intervention effect Liming did not significantly influence the 100-seed weight of soybean.
- Recommendation A lime rate of 1.0 t/ha is optimum and recommended for high grain yield in soybean.
- Intervention effect Mean grain yield at 1.0 t/ha lime was 66% higher than in the control without lime.
- Association Medium maturing cultivar TGX 1440-1E had significantly higher number of leaves, number of pods per plant and grain yield than other varieties.
- Association Lime and crop variety interactions had no significant effect on soybean growth and yield.
