Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The experiments were performed within a 20-year-long period in six variants, including the cultivation of cotton monoculture in four crop rotations without fertilizers and with application of mineral fertilizers and manure. The content of humus, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and sodium in the plow layer and in the entire soil profile (to a depth of 150 cm) was the highest in the cotton–lucerne–cereal crop rotation with application of mineral and organic fertilizers. The productivity of raw cotton in this variant of the experiment was 3.17 t/ha in the first decade and 2.56 t/ha in the second decade.
