Influences of selected mulches and soil amendments on dynamics of nitrogen and phosphorus availability in the apple root zone

Author: Tom Forge, Gene Hogue, Denise Neilsen, Gerry Neilsen

Published: 2005

Summary: I: Determine rates of decomposition and release of N and P from selected composts. II: Determine effects of organic mulches and irrigation systems on nitrogen and phosphorus availability and nematode indicators of nutrient fluxes in underlying soil. III: Determine effects of surface-applied organic mulches and irrigation systems on populations of the root lesion nematode, Pratylenchus penetrans.
