Sustainable improvement of soil health utilizing biochar and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi: A review

Nihal Gujre et al.

Summary: This review focuses on the use of biochar and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) to improve soil health and crop productivity, emphasizing their indispensable roles in maintaining the plant-soil continuum. The study highlights the significant progress made in understanding the physical and chemical properties of biochar, as well as the functions and roles of AMF in the soil ecosystem. The potential benefits, challenges, and future opportunities of combined biochar and AMF applications are critically examined.

Characterization the structural property and degradation behavior of corn starch in KOH/thiourea aqueous solution

Wenwen Li et al.

Summary: The study found that KOH/thiourea solution is an effective solvent for corn starch dissolution, achieving high solubility in a short period of time; compared with other solvents, KOH/thiourea solution does not alter the primary molecular structure and thermal stability of starch; furthermore, KOH/thiourea solution is more suitable for measuring the molecular weight of starch.

Recent trends in organic coating based on biopolymers and biomass for controlled and slow release fertilizers

Saloua Fertahi et al.

Summary: The increasing human population leads to a rise in the demand for food, with fertilizers being crucial for meeting this demand and ensuring global food security. CRFs based on biopolymers, known as CRF@BB, offer a new generation of fertilizers that not only control nutrient release rate, but also improve soil quality and reduce negative effects of conventional fertilizers.

Partial root-zone drying irrigation increases water-use efficiency of tobacco plants amended with biochar

Xuezhi Liu et al.

Summary: The study explored the impact of reduced irrigation and biochar addition on stomatal morphology and gas exchange of tobacco plants. It was found that reduced irrigation, especially alternate partial root-zone drying irrigation, led to lower stomatal conductance and increased water-use efficiency, with biochar having little effect. In addition, stomatal size decreased while density increased under reduced irrigation, particularly with biochar addition.

Agronomic, environmental, and ecosystem economic benefits of controlled-release nitrogen fertilizers for maize production in Southwest China

Zhi Yao et al.

Summary: The study shows that using enhanced-efficiency nitrogen fertilizer blended urea (BU) in maize production can increase yield and agronomic efficiency, while reducing environmental impacts by decreasing global warming, acidification, and eutrophication potential. Additionally, BU can increase economic benefits and EEB by reducing agricultural and ecological costs.
