Chinese Milk Vetch as Green Manure Mitigates Nitrous Oxide Emission from Monocropped Rice System in South China. [PDF]
Monocropped rice system is an important intensive cropping system for food security in China. Green manure (GM) as an alternative to fertilizer N (FN) is useful for improving soil quality. However, few studies have examined the effect of Chinese milk vetch (CMV) as GM on nitrous oxide (N2O) emission from monocropped rice field in south China. Therefore,

Changes in Phenolics and Antioxidant Capability of Two Chinese Milk Vetch Sprouts During Germination
Chinese milk vetch (CMV) has high nutritional value, but it is often used as green manure and forage grasses, with low economic returns. This study aimed to broaden the channel of its resource utilization. Two CMV seeds from Hunan (Xiang No.1) and Anhui (

Partial substitution of nitrogen fertilizer by Chinese milk vetch with different improvement measures achieves a win-win for rice productivity and environmental benefits [PDF]
IntroductionGreen manuring has been proven to be a sustainable strategy for enhancing paddy soil fertility and reducing chemical fertilizer input. However, the anaerobic decomposition of green manure in flooded soils leads to substantial increase in ...

Chinese milk vetch is an efficient approach to reduce Cd accumulation in rice, nevertheless, its reduction mechanism is not well understood. In this study, we investigated the rice grain Cd, soil properties and microbial community in a Cd-polluted paddy field amended with milk vetch residue (MV) or without (CK) during rice growth period.

Chinese Milk Vetch Improves Plant Growth, Development and 15N Recovery in the Rice-Based Rotation System of South China. [PDF]
AbstractChinese milk vetch (CMV) is vital for agriculture and environment in China. A pot experiment combined with 15N labeling (including three treatments: control, no fertilizer N and CMV; 15N-labeled urea alone, 15NU; substituting partial 15NU with CMV, 15NU-M) was conducted to evaluate the impact of CMV on plant growth, development and 15NU ...
