Fig. 2From: The impact of the long-term application of mineral nitrogen and sewage sludge fertilizers on the quality of soil organic matterTrends in maize monoculture silage dry mass yields during the experiment. The red trend line is an average of all treatments. The horizontal axis represents 3-year periods starting with 1997–1999 (1) and ending with 2018–2020 (8). Con Unfertilized control; N120 Mineral fertilization (120 kg N ha−1); N240 Mineral fertilization (240 kg N ha−1); S120 Sewage sludge (120 kg N ha−1); S240 Sewage sludge (240 kg N ha−1) *only the unfertilized control treatment showed significantly low yields (Tukey HSD test; p < 0.05) during all periods, and differences among the fertilization treatments were not significantBack to article page
