Can controlled-release urea replace the split application of normal urea in China? A meta-analysis based on crop grain yield and nitrogen use efficiency

Guangxin Zhang et al.

Summary: The study found that controlled-release urea (CRU) has excellent performance in replacing split applications of normal urea (NU), leading to increased crop yield and nitrogen fertilizer use efficiency. However, the substitution effect of CRU on split-NU varies depending on regional factors and crop types, and should be chosen accordingly for optimal results.

Exploring the best tillage option in rice based diversified cropping systems in alluvial soil of eastern India

Sudeshna Kar et al.

Summary: The continuous rice-wheat cropping system with intensive conventional tillage operations in eastern India is causing degradation of natural resources, leading to a threat to its sustainability. By adopting resource conservation practices like conservation tillage and diversifying the cropping system, it is possible to achieve overall sustainability. Results showed that reduced tillage led to increased system productivity and nutrient uptake, while zero tillage had the highest microbial population. Legume-dominated cropping systems showed higher recovery efficiency of nutrients and microbial populations. Overall, reduced tillage was found to be the most suitable option under diversified cropping systems based on rice.

Effect of irrigation levels, planting methods and mulching on nutrient uptake, yield, quality, water and fertilizer productivity of field mustard (Brassica rapa L.) under sandy loam soil

Samar Pal Singh et al.

Summary: The study found that in a normal winter rainfall year, field mustard crops could be irrigated at a ratio of 0.9 irrigation water/cumulative pan evaporation to achieve higher yield, quality, and fertilizer productivity; while irrigation should be done at a ratio of 1.2 if there is scarcity in winter rainfall.

Long-term effects of straw mulching coupled with N application on soil organic carbon sequestration and soil aggregation in a winter wheat monoculture system

Xiushuang Li et al.

Summary: Straw mulching combined with nitrogen application rates has an impact on crop yield, SOC sequestration, and soil aggregation. While straw mulching enhances SOC stock and lability in the surface soil, nitrogen application increases wheat production and shows different effects on SOC stock and aggregation.

Straw returning coupled with nitrogen fertilization increases canopy photosynthetic capacity, yield and nitrogen use efficiency in cotton

Zhi Wang et al.

Summary: The combination of nitrogen fertilization and straw supplementation can enhance cotton growth traits, yield, and nitrogen use efficiency. Particularly, the highest benefits in soil fertility, canopy photosynthetic capacity, and nitrogen uptake by cotton were observed under 150 kg N ha-1 combined with straw addition.

Labile Soil Organic Matter Pools Are Influenced by 45 Years of Applied Farmyard Manure and Mineral Nitrogen in the Wheat-Pearl Millet Cropping System in the Sub-Tropical Condition

Ranjan Laik et al.

Summary: Labile soil organic matter pools are sensitive indicators of soil quality, and their turnover can be improved through long-term farmyard manure and mineral nitrogen application. Specifically, applying 15 Mg ha(-1) farmyard manure with 120 kg ha(-1) mineral nitrogen significantly increases microbial biomass and dissolved organic carbon, showing the potential for improving soil organic carbon and its labile pools in sub-tropical arid soils.

The Use of Municipal Solid Waste Compost in Combination with Proper Irrigation Scheduling Influences the Productivity, Microbial Activity and Water Use Efficiency of Direct Seeded Rice

Ram Kumar Dharminder et al.

Summary: Proper irrigation scheduling and nutrient management are crucial for achieving higher water use efficiency in direct seeded rice. Municipal waste can be converted into potential manures for crop production when enhanced with microbial consortia. The research found that enriched municipal soil waste compost with suitable irrigation scheduling can improve the growth, yield, soil microbes, and water use efficiency of rice planted in Indo-Gangetic plains.
