Article Abstract
Fertilization plays a crucial role in ensuring global food security and ecological balance. This study investigated the impact of substituting innovative biological manure for chemical fertilization on rice ( L) productivity and soil biochemical properties based on a three-year experiment. Our results suggested rice yield and straw weight were increased under manure addition treatment. Specifically, 70% of total nitrogen (N) fertilizer substituted by biological manure derived from straw, animal waste and microbiome, led to a substantial 13.6% increase in rice yield and a remarkable 34.2% boost in straw weight. In comparison to the conventional local farmer practice of applying 165 kg N ha, adopting 70% of total N plus biological manure demonstrated superior outcomes, particularly in enhancing yield components and spike morphology. Fertilization treatments led to elevated levels of soil microbial biomass carbon and N. However, a nuanced comparison with local practices indicated that applying biological manure alongside urea resulted in a slight reduction in N content in vegetative and economic organs, along with decreases of 10.4%, 11.2%, and 6.1% in N recovery efficiency (NRE), respectively. Prudent N management through the judicious application of partial biological manure fertilizer in rice systems could be imperative for sustaining productivity and soil fertility in southern China.

Sweet potato foot rot disease caused by Diaporthe destruens (formerly Plenodomus destruens) severely affects the yield and quality of sweet potatoes. To gain basic knowledge on regulating the pathogen using indigenous soil bacteria, the following organic materials were applied to potted soils collected from a sweet potato field contaminated with D. destruens: Kuroihitomi (compost made from shochu waste and chicken manure), Soil-fine (material made by adsorbing shochu waste on rice bran), and rice bran.

Overuse of chemical fertilizers can threaten the agro-ecological balance, including an excessive accumulation of certain elements, such as nitrogen and phosphorus. On the other hand, organic fertilizers and biofertilizers, which are eco-friendly and cost-effective, increase biological nitrogen fixation and enhance the availability of nutrients to plants. The aim of this research was to study the possibility of using a full (22.

The widespread use of antibiotics in humans and animals raises significant environmental concerns. However, few approaches can simultaneously quantify their transfer from humans and animals and track their fate in soils and rivers. In this study, we developed the MARINA-Antibiotics model (Model to Assess River Inputs of pollutaNts to seAs for Antibiotics) to quantify the sources and concentrations of 30 widely used antibiotics, as well as assess their associated environmental risks, and implemented this model in the Three Gorges Reservoir Area in 2020.

This study investigates the effects of pyrolytic temperature and feedstock type on the release of biochar-derived dissolved organic matter (BDOM) and its impact on the soil bacterial community and the composition of soil dissolved organic matter (SDOM). The BDOM was extracted from biochars produced from sheep bones, rice husk, and rabbit manure, prepared at low (400 °C, LPT) or high (700 °C, HPT) pyrolytic temperatures. The BDOM was then applied at a concentration of 2.

Integration of diverse fertilisation strategies with water-saving irrigation techniques presents a promising sustainable agricultural practice, offering the potential to reduce greenhouse gases (GHGs) emissions, enhance carbon sequestration and boost crop yields. However, existing research on the influence of soil microorganisms on biogeochemical processes of GHGs is limited. Herein, we explored the microbial mechanisms influencing GHGs emissions through a 3-year field experiment and metagenomic sequencing conducted in southeastern China.
