Control of Fusarium wilt by wheat straw is associated with microbial network changes in watermelon rhizosphere

Scientific Reports, 2020
Straw return is an effective strategy to alleviate soil-borne diseases. Though watermelon Fusarium wilt is a severe soil-borne disease, the effect of wheat straw on the disease remains unclear.

Effect of bio‐fertilization and edapho‐climatic conditions on chickpea nodulation, grain yields, and seed protein in a Mediterranean context: a meta‐analysis approach

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Chickpeas (Cicer arietinum L.) serve as a protein‐rich staple, particularly in Mediterranean countries, where they are often grown in marginal and water‐stressed areas. This meta‐analysis synthesized evidence from peer‐reviewed publications across Mediterranean countries to assess how chickpea rhizobial inoculation influences chickpea ...

Disclosing the production of fungal chitinases and proteases using insect by‐products as substrates in solid‐state fermentation

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND The world population is projected to reach nearly 9.7 billion by 2050, significantly increasing the demand for novel and sustainable protein sources. Edible insects, such as Tenebrio molitor, emerge as promising alternatives due to their high nutritional value, but adult insects and frass are direct and abundant by‐products of this ...

Long‐Term Straw Returning Combined With Mineral Fertilization Enhances Soil Quality but Elevates P Loss Risks in a Subtropical Rice–Wheat Rotation System, Central China

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Long‐term straw returning is widely promoted to improve soil quality in intensive cropping systems, yet its combined effects with mineral fertilization on soil quality and phosphorus (P) loss risks remain unclear. Using a 16‐year field experiment in a rice–wheat rotation system, we evaluated the impacts of straw returning (S), NPK ...

Cereal‐Legume Rotation Benefits Soil Ecosystem Multifunctionality by Improving the Efficiency of Microbial Carbon Pump

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cereal‐legume rotation is regarded as an important agricultural management strategy for enhancing soil organic carbon (SOC) and improving soil ecosystem multifunctionality (EMF). The soil microbial carbon pump (MCP) exerts a regulatory effect on the production of microbial necromass as well as the SOC accumulation.

Effects of long-term full straw return on yield and potassium response in wheat-maize rotation

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2015
The effect of long-term straw return on crop yield, soil potassium (K) content, soil organic matter, and crop response to K from both straw and chemical K fertilizer (K2SO4) were investigated in a fixed site field experiment for winter wheat-summer maize

From Salt‐Affected Marginal Land Resource to Remediation Agent: Halophyte‐Derived Biochar for Ameliorating Cd‐Contaminated Acidic Soil

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cadmium (Cd) contamination of acidic soils poses a significant threat to ecosystem stability and crop health. This study evaluated the potential of biochar derived from the halophyte Salicornia europaea (SBC), a salt‐tolerant plant that grows on saline‐alkali marginal land, to remediate Cd‐contaminated acidic soil.

Chemical Treatment of Wheat Straw

Journal of Animal Science, 1980
Summary An in vitro digestion study, a lamb growth trial and a lamb digestion trial were conducted to evaluate the effect of different NaOH and Ca(OH)2 treatments on the energy availability of wheat straw. In vitro dry matter disappearance (IVDMD) of wheat straw was increased 29% by chemical treatment with 1% NaOH plus 3% Ca(OH)2 and by as much as 86 ...

Screening Maize Cultivars Enables Concurrent Safe Crop Production and Phytoremediation of Cd‐Contaminated Agricultural Soil: A Field Experiment

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Conventional management of heavy metal contaminated soil faces a dual challenge. Safe utilization maintains agricultural production without removing pollutants, whereas phytoremediation cleans the soil but cannot guarantee the planted crop safety.
