Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Digestate at 60–100% severely inhibited root elongation of Chinese cabbage and ryegrass.
- Observation The germination index fell well below the 50% phytotoxicity-free threshold.
- Intervention effect Base fertilizer supplementation of AD and AAD produced higher plant growth than AD alone.
- Intervention effect Base fertilizer supplementation of AD and AAD increased fresh weight and dry matter production relative to AD alone.
- Intervention effect Aerobic post-treatment did not significantly reduce phytotoxicity.
- Recommendation The authors suggest AD could be applied to agricultural soils, especially those high in phosphorus.
