Apparent variations in nitrogen runoff and its uptake in paddy rice under straw incorporation
Straw incorporation is a widespread practice to promote agricultural sustainability. However, the potential effects of straw incorporation with the prolonged time on nitrogen (N) runoff loss from paddy fields are not well studied.

Introduction Nitrification inhibitors and straw incorporation are used to reduce microbial mediated nitrogen (N) losses, thereby increasing N use efficiency (NUE) in cropland soil, but their effects on nitrous oxide (N2O) emission across different soil ...

Mechanisms behind the inhibition of autotrophic nitrification following rice-straw incorporation in a subtropical acid soil [PDF]
The effectiveness of rice-straw incorporation to alleviate environmental deterioration and increase soil fertility is widely accepted, whereas, the effect of this management on stimulating soil nitrogen (N) transformation is not fully understood.

The soil degradation caused by conventional tillage in rain-fed areas of northwest China is known to reduce the water-use efficiency and crop yield because of reduced soil porosity and the decreased availability of soil water and nutrients.

Cephalosporium stripe disease, crop yield and selected soil properties as influenced by straw management in a micro-plot experiment with winter wheat monoculture [PDF]
Straw is a valuable by-product of crop production which can be used for various purposes (livestock feed and bedding, bioenergy). However, it should primarily be retained on farmlands to prevent soil organic matter (SOM) losses.

Straw Incorporation Strategy on Cereal Crop Yield in China [PDF]
ABSTRACTStraw incorporation (SI) is considered a valid agricultural measure for ameliorating soil quality and sequestrating soil C. This study aimed to quantitatively summarize the response of cereal yield to SI management. Our results showed that compared with straw removal, SI could significantly enhance cereal yield by 7% over all of China across ...

Crop straw incorporation interacts with N fertilizer on N2O emissions in an intensively cropped farmland [PDF]
Nitrogen (N) fertilization and straw incorporation strongly influence nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from agricultural fields. An in-situ micro-plot experiment on intensively farmed winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) was conducted to investigate the ...

Effect of straw incorporation on methane emission in rice paddy: conversion factor and smart straw management [PDF]
AbstractStraw incorporation is strongly recommended in rice paddy to improve soil quality and mitigate atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2), via increasing soil organic carbon (SOC) stock. However, straw application significantly increased methane (CH4) emission during rice cultivation, and then its incorporation area was not expanded effectively.
