Abstract |
Uptake of weed-borne nitrogen by maize was tested with 15N in field experiments on silty loam (haplic phaeozem) after common growth of maize and Chenopodium album L. and incorporating the weeds at the 4- to 6-leaf stage of maize. Maize took up 22–23% of the weed-borne N in the year of incorporating and residual 7–32% in the following year. Uptake of weed-borne N was higher in comparable pot experiments. Different soil humidity after different water supply was mainly reasonable for these differences. Weed-borne nitrogen contributed 7–16% to total N of maize in the year of incorporating and 4–11% in the following year. Yield and N uptake between weeded and unweeded maize differed partly significant. |
