Abstract: In this study, same amount of potassium (240 kg . hm-2) was applied as basal dressing (treatment 1) and as 1/2 basal dressing + 1/2 top-dressing at day 75 after planting (treatment 2), aimed to investigate the effects of potassium fertilization period on the photosynthetic characteristics of edible sweetpotato and the starch accumulation in storage root. As compared with treatment 1, treatment 2 improved the leaf photosynthetic rate and sucrose-phosphate synthase activity and the storage root's adenosine diphosphate glucose pyrophosphortlase activity, enhanced the starch accumulation rate in storage root (with an average increment of 6. 7%), and increased the root tuber yield significantly by 8. 2%. Both of the potassium fertilization treatments improved the synthesis of sucrose in leaf and the transformation from sucrose to starch in storage root, as compared with no potassium fertilization.

Fruit quality and yield in orchards will decrease after long-term planting. To analyze the changes of soil quality under different planting years and identify the key factors of the declining of orchard soil quality could provide scientific foundation for optimizing fertilization management of orchard soil. In this study, we analyzed the changes of soil physical, chemical, and biological properties of loquat orchard under different planting years (<10 years, 10-15 years, 15-20 years, ≥20 years) in Ninghai County, Zhejiang Province, and evaluated soil health by using soil quality index, multifunctionality index, and sensitivity and resistance indicators.

Background: There is limited information on the effect of potassium (K) on the taste quality of rice. Field experiments with five K fertilizer application rates (0, 60, 120, 180, and 240 kg KO ha) were conducted in 2019 and 2020 using two cultivars (Xiadao No. 1 and Shenliangyou 5814) to study the effects of K fertilization on grain yield, taste quality, starch components, and protein components in grains.

To comprehensively assess the changing pattern of organic fertilizer substitution with nitrogen fertilizer on the yield of major grains in China, with 102 literature as the research object, through Meta-analysis we quantitatively explored the impacts of soil physicochemical properties, climatic conditions, and different nitrogen fertilizer replacement rates and supplemental application amounts. The results showed that the replacement of nitrogen fertilizer by organic fertilizer could increase crop yields compared with those from the application of nitrogen fertilizer alone, and soil quick-acting potassium content, pH, and annual average temperature had the most significant effects on the yields of the three major grains. When the nitrogen fertilizer replacement rate and the amount of supplemental nitrogen fertilizer applied were 31.

Article Synopsis
- Over-application of potassium fertilizer negatively impacts the environment, making the development of rice varieties with high potassium uptake efficiency (KUE) essential for sustainable agriculture.
- Research highlights the role of the transcription factor OsNAC25, which enhances potassium uptake in rice, particularly under low potassium conditions.
- Mutating OsNAC25 results in poor potassium absorption and stunted growth, while its overexpression improves potassium accumulation and tolerance, suggesting it could be a key target for developing rice varieties that thrive in low potassium environments.
