1 Agricultural management plays an important role in global warming mitigation due to 2 its effects on soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics. In Mediterranean agroecosystems, 3 the interactive effects of tillage and N fertilization on SOC storage have scarcely been 4 studied. Hence, we here present a modelling study in which the effects of both tillage 5 and N fertilization on SOC dynamics are inv...

Maize has a high nutritional requirement, especially regarding NPK fertilization. However, conventional fertilization with these nutrients presents loss potential, mainly by volatilization, leaching, adsorption, and fixation, which may reflect on the development yield of maize plants. Using fertilizers increased efficiency seeks to mitigate limitations, reducing potential losses due gradual nut...

In the current study, effect of boiled chicken manure (BCM) doses by fertigation, bokashi, and mineral fertilization on agronomic variables, bioactive compounds, nitrate levels two cultivars lettuce (romaine frisée types) one cultivar radicchio chicory was studied. Overall, higher variable values were found for leafy plants in bokashi-fertilized plants. The BCM 5, 7.5, 10% fertilization, genera...

Soil inorganic carbon (SIC) accounts for about half of the C reserves worldwide and is considered more stable than soil organic (SOC). However, acidification, driven mainly by nitrogen (N) fertilization can accelerate SIC losses, possibly leading to complete loss under continuous intensive N fertilization. Carbonate-free soils are less fertile, productive, prone erosion. Therefore, minimizing c...

Aim. To study the impact of an alternative organic-mineral fertilization on photosynthetic and biological productivity sugar beet under modernizing it with latest agrochemical means. Меthods. Short-term field analytical. Results. The results research different saturation agrochemicals beets are presented. It was established that development leaf surface, content chlorophyll in leaves, increased...

This study assesses the ability of an ensemble crop models (MME) to predict impacts fertilization and residue management on soil organic carbon (SOC) aboveground biomass (AGB) in a long-term experiment (LTE) based continuous maize cropping systems. Data from LTE Northern Italy were used. Treatments included grain (MG) or silage (MS) maize, fertilized with mineral, cattle slurry, farmyard manure...

Plant health and performance are highly dependent on the root microbiome. The impact of agricultural management soil microbiome has been studied extensively. However, a comprehensive understanding how types fertilization regimes affect both is still lacking, such as microbiome’s stability, whether it follows same patterns In this study, we carried out long-term experiment to see different types...

Effects of bio-nitrogen fertilizer (bio-N), as a partial alternative to mineral-nitrogen fertilizer (mineral-N), on growth, yield and yield quality of broccoli plants were investigated. Bio-N was applied at 1, 2 or 3 doses in combination with 65% of the recommended dose of mineral-N (bio-N1, bio-N2 or bio-N3 + 2⁄3mineral-N). However, 100% of the recommended dose of mineralN was applied as a con...

We studied the effects of applying different composts (urban organic waste, green waste, manure and sewage sludge), mineral fertilizer and compost plus mineral fertilizer on chemical, biological and soil microbiological parameters over a 12-year period. The organic C and total N levels in soils were increased by all compost and compost + N treatments. Microbial biomass C was significantly (P £ ...

Unexpected deterioration of human embryos led us to an investigation of possible toxic factors in the oil covering culture medium. Elevated levels of peroxidation in the oil by oxygen exposure or unfavorable storage were found to be the main causes of toxicity.
