Aims: This study evaluated the impact of wheat straw return and microbial agent application on rice field environments.
Methods: Using Rice variety Chuankangyou 2115 and a microbial mix of and . Five treatments were tested: T (no straw return), T (straw return), T, T, and T (straw return with varying ratios of and ).
Introduction: The use of controlled-release nitrogen (N) fertilizers has been shown to improve yield and N-use efficiency (NUE) in mechanical transplanted rice. However, the fertilizer requirements for mechanical direct-seeding rice differ from those for mechanical transplanted rice. The effects of controlled-release fertilizers on yield, NUE, and quality in mechanical direct-seeding rice are still unknown.

Further, was identified through larval head transcriptome and speculated as the main odorant-binding proteins in larvae. In this study, the highest expression of was only expressed in the heads of 3rd instar larvae of , compared with the thorax and abdomen; this was consistent with the phenomenon of habitat transfer of 3rd instar larvae, indicating that was a key OBP gene in larvae.
