Taking Yangmai 18, widely cultivated in south of Huaihe River, as experimental material, this study investigated the effects of application of 0, 30, 60, 90 and 120 m3 x hm(-2) pig farm slurry (PS) at the wintering stage combined with the application of 0, 30, 60, 90 kg x hm(-2) urea at the heading stage on medium- and micro-element contents and quality of wheat. The results showed that the Ca, Mg and Fe contents of plant firstly decreased then increased with the extension of the growth period, but the Cu, Zn and Mn contents decreased continuously through the growth period. Ca, Mg, Cu and Zn reached the highest value at every growth stage except the jointing stage when applying 120 m3 x hm(-2) PS with 90 kg x hm(-2) urea. Fe and Mn reached the highest value at every growth stage when applying 120 m3 x hm(-2) PS with 90 kg x hm(-2) urea. The contents of Ca, Mg, Cu, Zn, Fe and Mn all increased with increasing PS application across the growth period. Regarding the quality of wheat, applying 90 m3 x hm(-2) PS with 60 kg x hm(-2) urea was the best fertilization pattern. Combined applications of anaerobically treated PS with N fertilizer could increase medium- and micro-element contents and quality of wheat. Generally, it was recommended to apply 60-120 m3 x hm(-2) PS at the wintering stage and 90 kg x hm(-2) urea at the heading stage under field conditions.

Corn-soybean rotation is a cropping pattern to optimize crop structure and improve resource use efficiency, and nitrogen (N) fertilizer application is an indispensable tool to increase corn yields. However, the effects of N fertilizer application levels on corn yield and soil N storage under corn-soybean rotation have not been systematically studied. The experimental located in the central part of the Songnen Plain, a split-zone experimental design was used with two planting patterns of continuous corn (CC) and corn-soybean rotations (RC) in the main zone and three N application rates of 0, 180, and 360 kg hm of urea in the secondary zone.

Article Synopsis
  • A 2-year field trial was conducted to assess how different combinations of nitrogen fertilizers and straw returning impact soil bacterial diversity, straw decomposition, and maize yield. //!
  • Six treatments were tested, revealing significant differences in bacterial community composition at various growth stages, particularly among the dominant soil bacteria groups. //!
  • Results indicated that treatments with 60%-90% slow-release nitrogen had higher soil bacterial diversity and a quicker straw decomposition rate, suggesting better strategies for sustainable agriculture. //!

Slow-controlled release fertilizers are experiencing a popularity in rice cultivation due to their effectiveness in yield and quality with low environmental costs. However, the underlying mechanism by which these fertilizers regulate grain quality remains inadequately understood. This study investigated the effects of five fertilizer management practices on rice yield and quality in a two-year field experiment: CK, conventional fertilization, and four applications of slow-controlled release fertilizer (UF, urea formaldehyde; SCU, sulfur-coated urea; PCU, polymer-coated urea; BBF, controlled-release bulk blending fertilizer).

This study aimed to investigate the impact of different nitrogen forms on soil physicochemical properties and microbial community structure in perennial alpine cultivated grasslands, in order to provide scientific basis for developing nitrogen addition strategies for perennial alpine cultivated grasslands. In June 2022, a 4-year-old Qinghai grassland mixed with Qinghai and Qinghai was established at the Bakatai Farm in Gonghe County, Hainan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province. The study was conducted without fertilization as a control (CK), and three different forms of nitrogen treatments were set up, namely, U:urea (amide nitrogen), A:ammonium sulfate (ammonium nitrogen), and N:calcium nitrate (nitrate nitrogen); the nitrogen application rate for each treatment was 67.

Biological nitrogen (N) fixation is an important source of N in terrestrial ecosystems, but the response of soil microbial N fixation rate to N deposition in different forest ecosystems still remains uncertain. We conducted a field N addition experiment to simulate atmosphere N deposition in subtropical and forests. We set up three levels of nitrogen addition using urea as the N source: 0 (control), 40 (low N), and 80 g N·hm·a(high N) to examine the chemical properties, microbial biomass C, enzyme activities, and gene copies of top soils (0-10 cm).
