Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Gypsum plus leguminous residues enhanced soil rootability in a tropical Arenic Hapludult.
- Intervention effect Gypsum plus leguminous residues increased soil porosity.
- Intervention effect Gypsum plus leguminous residues decreased soil penetration resistance.
- Intervention effect Gypsum plus leguminous residues facilitated root growth in deeper soil layers.
- Intervention effect Leguminous residues increased calcium input and retention in deeper soil layers.
- Intervention effect Large amounts of gypsum with leguminous residue significantly increased phosphorus uptake.
- Intervention effect Large amounts of gypsum with leguminous residue did not proportionally increase maize yield.
- Intervention effect Calcium content differed only slightly between the 12 and 6 t/ha gypsum treatments.
- Recommendation Applying a low dose of gypsum combined with leguminous residue is recommended for tropical sandy loam soils with low cation retention capacities.
