Other claims from this paper (9)
- Association High organic matter sites had 39.5% higher total tuber yield.
- Association High organic matter sites had 45.2% higher marketable yield.
- Association High organic matter sites had 54.9% higher tuber weight per plant.
- Intervention effect Total tuber yield for all three cultivars peaked at 168 kg N ha −1.
- Intervention effect At low organic matter sites, 168 kg N ha−1 achieved marketable specific gravity, starch and dry matter content.
- Intervention effect At high organic matter sites, 112 kg N ha−1 achieved marketable specific gravity, starch and dry matter content.
- Observation Russet Burbank yielded significantly more than Shepody and Superior.
- Observation The three cultivars had no significant difference in specific gravity.
- Intervention effect Excess nitrogen above 168 kg ha−1 reduced tuber production and quality.
