Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Potassium did not affect pearl millet growth in Experiment I.
- Intervention effect Potassium increased sudangrass growth in Experiment I.
- Intervention effect Fertility did not produce a significant growth response in Experiment II.
- Intervention effect The Ca + Mg + K treatment tended to produce the tallest plants in Experiment II.
- Intervention effect Fertility treatments did not significantly affect pearl millet P content.
- Observation Pearl millet accumulated more nitrate N than sudangrass.
- Intervention effect Plots receiving K alone or with Ca or Mg had significantly higher nitrate N.
- Intervention effect Calcium addition decreased nitrate N to a lesser degree.
- Association Drought appeared to intensify the effect of K on forage nitrate N concentration.
- Recommendation The authors suggest regulating Mg and K fertility to reduce nitrate toxicity risk in pearl millet and sudangrass.
