Title
Drilling Fluid Effects on Crop Growth and Iron and Zinc Availability
T. A. Bauder; K. A. Barbarick; J. F. Shanahan; et al. Journal of Environmental Quality 1999. doi:10.2134/jeq1999.00472425002800030002x
Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Sorghum—sudangrass total dry matter yield increased as drilling fluid rate increased, with an exponential-rise model fit.
- Intervention effect Drilling fluid significantly increased plant tissue Fe concentration and uptake.
- Intervention effect Drilling fluid corrected Zn deficiency in corn in a second greenhouse study.
- Intervention effect Soil SAR increased with drilling fluid rate but remained below 1.
- Intervention effect Other trace-element concentrations in sudangrass tissue did not increase significantly after drilling fluid application.
- Intervention effect Soil pH and saturated extract EC did not increase significantly after drilling fluid application.
- Recommendation Controlled land application of water-based drilling fluid was beneficial for sorghum—sudangrass growth.
