Nitrogen application at a lower rate reduce net field global warming potential and greenhouse gas intensity in winter wheat grown in semi-arid region of the Loess Plateau

Jinjin Wang et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the effects of fertilization on soil organic carbon, greenhouse gas emissions, and global warming potential in a semi-arid region. The results showed that applying 150-225 kg/ha of nitrogen fertilizer significantly increased soil organic carbon content and sequestration rates, while reducing greenhouse gas emissions and intensity. These treatments also resulted in the highest grain yield.

Optimizing planting pattern and nitrogen application rate improves grain yield and water use efficiency for rain-fed spring maize by promoting root growth and reducing redundant root growth

Guangxin Zhang et al.

Summary: Improving root growth is crucial for enhancing crop's ability to acquire soil resources. Our study in the Loess Plateau region of China reveals that ridge-furrow plastic film mulching planting with appropriate nitrogen application can enhance the root characteristic parameters and root bleeding sap rate, leading to increased grain yield and water use efficiency for rain-fed spring maize.

Impact of long-term application of manure and inorganic fertilizers on common soil bacteria in different soil types

Jinshan Lian et al.

Summary: Understanding the impact of long-term fertilization in different soil types and its effect on soil bacteria and crop production is crucial for sustainable agricultural practices. This study investigated the impact of continuous fertilizer treatments on crop yield, soil properties, and soil bacteria in diverse Chinese agriculture areas. The results showed that specific fertilizer treatments significantly increased crop yields, and different bacterial groups had varying effects on crop yields. These findings are important for designing sustainable agricultural practices.

Global meta-analysis of nitrogen fertilizer use efficiency in rice, wheat and maize

Xing Yu et al.

Summary: Almost half of global nitrogen fertilizer is applied to rice, wheat, and maize, but a large proportion is not directly taken up, causing detrimental effects on the environment. Fertilizer management, climate, and soil factors have important influences on nitrogen fertilizer use efficiency (REN) in these crops. Organic fertilizer and single applications generally have low values of REN. REN increases with growing season temperature for rice and wheat, but decreases for maize. Soil factors such as organic carbon content, pH, and clay content also affect REN, but this depends on the crop type.

Integrated organic and inorganic fertilization and reduced irrigation altered prokaryotic microbial community and diversity in different compartments of wheat root zone contributing to improved nitrogen uptake and wheat yield

Chao Wang et al.

Summary: The effect of long-term water and integrated fertilization on prokaryotic microorganisms and their regulation for crop nutrient uptake remains unknown. This study investigated the impact of soil water and integrated fertilization on prokaryotic microbial communities in the root zone compartments and their association with wheat nitrogen uptake and yield. The results showed that water regimes had a more drastic effect on prokaryotic microbial community structure and diversity compared to fertilization treatments. Application of organic fertilizers improved soil organic matter and nutrient contents, as well as prokaryotic microbial diversity. Increasing irrigation also elevated the abundance of functional microorganisms related to ammonia oxidation and nitrification. Soil water content and NH4+-N as well as NO3--N were identified as key predictors of prokaryotic microbial community composition. Appropriate application of irrigation and organic fertilizers increased the relative abundance of beneficial bacteria and promoted nitrogen uptake and wheat yield.
