Consecutive soybean (Glycine max) planting and covering improve acidified tea garden soil.
PLoS ONE, 2021 Planting soybeans (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) in tea gardens decreased soil pH in theory but increased it in practice. This controversy was addressed in this study by treating the tea garden soil consecutively with different parts of a soybean cover crop ...
