Article Synopsis
- Soil microbial nutrient needs are linked to environmental nutrient availability, particularly in an apple orchard context where the impact of manure and chemical fertilizers on microbial limitations is not well understood.
- A long-term experiment examined different fertilization methods (control, chemical, combined, and manure only) and their effects on key soil enzymes related to carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus cycling.
- Results showed that manure treatments significantly boosted soil microbial biomass compared to control and chemical treatments, and certain fertilization methods influenced soil enzyme activity and nutrient relationships.
