Influence of decomposition agent application and schedule in wheat straw return practice on soil quality and crop yield

Chemical and Biological Technologies in Agriculture, 2023
Straw return is a beneficial agricultural practice but mechanisms and information on microbial community alterations initiated by decomposed straw and promotion of soil nutritive content and conservation is still not adequately understood. Therefore, the

Effects of Nitrogen Application Rate on Dry Matter Weight and Yield of Direct-Seeded Rice under Straw Return

Agronomy, 2023
Straw is an agricultural byproduct that results from the production of many crops, such as cereals, yet it is often considered a waste product. However, straw has both historical precedent and future potential as an agricultural resource.

Changes in the Soil Phosphorus Supply with Rice Straw Return in Cold Region

Agronomy, 2023
Most phosphorus (P) in soil exists in nonlabile forms, leading to poor soil P supply capacity and limiting crop growth. This study evaluated the effect of 10 years of rice straw return on rice yield, soil P budget, P fractions, and phosphatase activity ...
