Other claims from this paper (15)

Observation Soil pH and exchangeable cation concentrations were highest during 2012, the season after a flood event.
Observation Soil electrical conductivity (EC1 : 5) was lowest during 2012.
Observation In subsequent dry seasons, soil pH and cation concentrations decreased.
Observation In subsequent dry seasons, soil electrical conductivity (EC1 : 5) increased.
Intervention effect Maize sowing gave higher exchangeable Ca and Mg in the upper horizons (0–0.3 m) during 2012.
Intervention effect Maize sowing gave higher exchangeable Na and exchangeable sodium percentage at 0.45–1.20 m, but these differences disappeared in later years.
Intervention effect Maize sowing gave higher surface soil organic carbon (SOC) three years after sowing.
Intervention effect Maize sowing gave no increase in SOC storage.
Intervention effect Soil under maize was less resilient to structural degradation.
Intervention effect Black root rot incidence was lower in maize-sown plots, but only during 2012.
Association Stepwise regression suggested that high exchangeable Ca and Mg in the surface 0.15 m reduced black root rot incidence in 2012.
Intervention effect Maize rotation introduced into cotton monocultures improved lint yields.
Intervention effect Maize rotation introduced into cotton monocultures reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
Intervention effect Maize rotation had little impact in a minimum-tilled cotton–wheat rotation.

A. G. Kaiser; J. C. Tayler; B. G. Gibbs; et al. The Journal of Agricultural Science 1981. doi:10.1017/s0021859600035784

Other claims from this paper (13)

Intervention effect Formaldehyde applied at ensiling restricted silage fermentation, with the effect increasing with level of application.
Intervention effect Formaldehyde treatment reduced protein degradation in the red clover silages.
Observation Recovery of applied formaldehyde in the silages was low, below 13%.
Association Recovery of applied formaldehyde in the silages increased with level of application.
Intervention effect Formaldehyde at high levels of application had a deleterious effect on intake, live-weight gain and feed conversion ratio, which followed quadratic trends.
Intervention effect Urea supplementation tended to increase intake and live-weight gain at formaldehyde levels above 34 g/kg CP.
Intervention effect N retention increased at intermediate formaldehyde levels and declined at the highest level.
Intervention effect Urea supplementation did not affect N retention.
Intervention effect Formaldehyde reduced apparent digestibility of dry matter, organic matter, N and energy with increasing level of application.
Intervention effect Formaldehyde had no effect on cellulose digestibility.
Association Butyric acid and 2, 3-butanediol content increased at intermediate levels of formaldehyde application.
Observation N balance data indicated poor utilization of the supplementary urea N.
Mechanism The supply of rumen-degradable N was not the major limiting factor on these diets, suggesting that formaldehyde effects were not rescued by urea.
