Title
Sugarcane Response to Water Table, Periodic Flood, and Foliar Nitrogen on Organic Soil
Barry Glaz; Robert A. Gilbert Agronomy Journal 2006. doi:10.2134/agronj2005.0232
Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Foliar N did not consistently affect yield.
- Association Each centimeter deeper water table reduced recoverable sucrose by 0.13 g kg −1 in nonflooded treatments.
- Association Each centimeter deeper water table raised cane yield by 0.16 kg m −2 across cultivars and cycles.
- Association Each centimeter deeper water table raised sucrose yield by 0.02 kg m −2 across cultivars and cycles.
- Association First ratoon cane yield rose by 0.38 kg m −2 per centimeter deeper water table.
- Association First ratoon sucrose yield rose by 0.04 kg m −2 per centimeter deeper water table.
- Intervention effect Periodic flooding sustained or improved first-ratoon yields.
- Recommendation The authors suggest retaining floods for up to 2 days after rain to improve yields and reduce phosphorus discharge.
