Other claims from this paper (10)
- Association Water solubility of MgCl2 and dolomite varied greatly, with increased Mg availability in the soils.
- Intervention effect Dolomite addition gave cassava 18.8–26.2% greater aboveground biomass than the control under greenhouse conditions.
- Observation Without Mg fertilization, Mg contents were low and constant over 120 days.
- Observation Soil Mg contents gradually increased early, sharply decreased at 30 days, and were constant until the end of the study.
- Observation Magnesium became available 1 month after dolomite was applied.
- Intervention effect MgCl2 evidently boosted the soluble Mg portion within 15 days after application.
- Intervention effect Dolomite was a better Mg source than MgCl2 for supplying Mg over a longer period.
- Observation Cassava absorbed Mg rapidly within 1.5 months after planting.
- Method / resource 0.05 M HCl was the best available Mg extractant for cassava, better than 1 M NH4OAc.
- Method / resource 1 M NH4OAc, the routine soil test in Thailand, was the least suited Mg extractant for cassava.
