Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Green manure decomposition increased soil mineral nitrogen as rapidly as mineral fertilizer or 25 Mg ha -1 compost.
- Observation The nitrogen half-life in green manure was 24 days.
- Observation The mass half-life in green manure was 35 days.
- Observation Biological fixation contributed 23.6% of nitrogen in broccoli aboveground biomass.
- Association The authors infer higher synchrony between crop relative growth and nitrogen release when green manure is incorporated early.
