Impact of Forage Fertilization with Urea and Composted Cattle Manure on Soil Fertility in Sandy Soils of South-Central Vietnam

Table 10

P values for treatment effects on soil chemical properties in 0 to 15 cm and 15 to 25 cm strata for models containing fixed effects of compost (C), urea (U), compost × urea (C × U), and preexperiment soil fertility measurement for each parameter sampled at 15 to 25 cm depth (PSF), with block as a random effect. Each row represents a single model for each soil depth. Significant values at P ≤ 0.05 are in bold.
