Other claims from this paper (13)
- Intervention effect Fertilizer placed 20 cm below seed accelerated seedling growth relative to broadcast fertilizer.
- Intervention effect Fertilizer placement below seed ultimately increased grain yield over broadcast.
- Intervention effect Banded P increased corn yield by 40% in 1970.
- Intervention effect Banded NPK increased maize yield by 170% over broadcast in 1971.
- Association Interrow compaction increased the fertilizer placement differences.
- Intervention effect Banded NPK increased irrigated wheat yield with compaction by 48%.
- Intervention effect Banded NPK increased irrigated wheat yield without compaction by 26%.
- Intervention effect Banded NPK increased unirrigated wheat yield with compaction by 288%.
- Intervention effect Banded NPK increased unirrigated wheat yield without compaction by 150%.
- Observation Nutrient uptake followed the same treatment trends as grain yield.
- Recommendation Authors advised against broadcasting fertilizer where surface root growth is restricted by drying or compaction.
- Intervention effect Heavy infrequent irrigation significantly increased nitrogen uptake in compacted plots.
- Intervention effect Without compaction, nutrient uptake was similar under two irrigation practices.
