Intensive nitrogen (N) fertilization enhances crop yield but also increases ammonia (NH) and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (CO, CH and NO), requiring sustainable fertilization regimes. The co-application of organic and inorganic fertilizers can decrease the use of inorganic fertilizer, reduce environmental pollution, and enhance soil fertility. A simultaneous investigation of the effects of combined application of organic and inorganic fertilizers on NH volatilization, GHG emissions, and soil fertility is, however, lacking.

- The fall armyworm, a major pest for crops like maize, rice, and cotton, originated in America and was first reported in West Africa in 2016 before spreading globally.
- Research showed that invasive fall armyworms are genetically most similar to the corn strain rather than the rice strain, indicating their origin.
- This finding suggests that management strategies for these pests should focus mainly on crops favored by the corn strain, as their ability to infest rice appears limited.
