Data on initial leaf P concentrations and final dry matter yields of silage maize in response to row-injected cattle slurry.

ABSTRACT: This article displays a dataset obtained in a field trial conducted in 2016 on a sandy loam and a coarse sandy soil, Denmark. Leaf phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) concentrations at the five-leaf stage (V5) and final dry matter (DM) yields of silage maize were determined in response to seven treatments with placed slurry below the maize row. Two row-injection methods combined with slurry acidification or addition of a nitrification inhibitor were tested. Furthermore final crop P uptake and P surplus at field level were determined. This dataset can be used to assess the effect of placed slurry with or without slurry acidification and addition of a nitrification inhibitor on silage maize yields and to enhance our knowledge on maize P uptake and P surpluses at field level. In turn this can sup
