Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Inhibiting nitrification increased grain yields.
- Intervention effect Inhibiting nitrification increased grain protein.
- Intervention effect Inhibiting nitrification decreased incidence of stalk rot.
- Intervention effect Nitrapyrin increased corn yields by up to 207%, averaging 68%.
- Intervention effect Nitrification inhibition reduced stalk rot incidence by 60 to 96%.
- Intervention effect Nitrapyrin with fall-applied N raised grain protein by 7 to 38%.
- Mechanism The authors proposed altered N metabolism as a reason for reduced stalk rot.
- Mechanism The authors proposed greater plant vigor as another explanation for reduced stalk rot.
- Recommendation The authors suggest reducing N application rates when using a nitrification inhibitor without yield loss.
