Intercropping tea plants with different leguminous green manures enhances soil nutrient availability, thereby reshaping the structure and functional potential of soil microbial communities [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology
Long-term monoculture in tea plantations leads to soil fertility decline and microbial community degradation, restricting tea growth and ecosystem function.

Effect of Chinese Milk Vetch (Astragalus sinicus L.) as a Cover Crop on Weed Control, Growth and Yield of Wheat under Different Tillage Systems

Plant Production Science, 2005
Reduced tillage systems are gaining popularity but weed control is often a limiting factor in the adoption of such systems. Cover crops have become a viable option for sustainable agriculture because of its contribution to soil fertility and improved ...

Split application of phosphorus fertilizer in Chinese milk vetch-rice rotation enhanced rice yield by reshaping soil diazotrophic community. [PDF]

Heliyon
Chinese milk vetch (CMV) is widely recognized as the leading leguminous green manure utilized in the rice-green manure rotation system throughout southern China. While bacteria that form symbiotic relationships with CMV are responsible for fixing a significant portion of nitrogen (N) within agroecosystems.

Multiple cropping effectively increases soil bacterial diversity, community abundance and soil fertility of paddy fields [PDF]

BMC Plant Biology
Background Crop diversification is considered as an imperative approach for synchronizing the plant nutrient demands and soil nutrient availability. Taking two or more crops from the same field in one year is considered as multiple cropping.

Chinese milk vetch incorporation inhibits nitrification by suppressing comammox Nitrospira in subtropical paddy soils

Geoderma
Chinese milk vetch (Astragalus sinicus L.) incorporation (CVI), straw return (SR), and nitrogen reduction (NR) are common agricultural practices, but their impacts on soil nitrogen (N) cycling processes and associated microbial communities remain poorly ...
