Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Mycorrhizal association had its largest effect on soybean P uptake in low-fertility soil.
- Intervention effect Plants grown in inoculated soil were larger than plants in noninoculated pots.
- Observation Plants grown in inoculated soil were K deficient.
- Observation Plants in noninoculated pots showed no K deficiency.
- Intervention effect When P deficiency was corrected, plant growth did not differ with the K source.
- Intervention effect The micas differed markedly in their ability to supply soluble K.
- Intervention effect Mycorrhizae appeared to accelerate weathering of the biotites and the phlogopite.
- Intervention effect Mycorrhizae had no effect on the weathering of the muscovite.
- Observation Electron microprobe analysis showed extensive removal of K from edges of the readily weathered biotite flakes subjected to biological weathering.
- Observation Electron microprobe analysis showed some removal of Al from edges of the readily weathered biotite flakes subjected to biological weathering.
