Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Equal corn yields could be obtained on surface soil and subsoil when adequate nitrogen fertilizer was supplied.
- Observation Maximum corn yields on subsoil and normal soils were about 100 bushels per acre in 1958.
- Observation Maximum corn yields on subsoil and normal soils were about 125 bushels per acre in 1959.
- Intervention effect Corn yields on subsoil control plots without nitrogen were 45 to 50 bushels per acre lower than on corresponding surface soil plots.
- Intervention effect Maximum corn yield on subsoil required 52 more pounds of nitrogen per acre than on normal soil in 1959.
- Observation Untreated surface soil supplied about 70 to 75 pounds of fertilizer nitrogen per acre per year more available nitrogen than untreated subsoil.
