Wheat is the most widely cultivated food crop in the world, which provides nutrition to most of the world population and is well adapted to a wide range of environmental conditions. Timely and efficient rates of nitrogen (N) application are vital for increasing wheat grain yield and protein content, and maintaining environmental sustainability. The goal of this study was to investigate the effe...

Intercropping is regarded as an important agricultural practice to improve crop production and environmental quality in the regions with intensive agricultural production, e.g., northern China. To optimize agronomic advantage of maize (Zea mays L.) and soybean (Glycine max L.) intercropping system compared to monoculture of maize, two sequential experiments were conducted. Experiment 1 was to s...

Plant biostimulants such as arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi and humic substances (HS) can be used as an appropriate alternative to chemical fertilizers, as regards to environmental problems of chemicals. The effects of Funneliformis mosseae as an AM fungus, HS (foliar spray and topdressing application), and chemical fertilizer (NK), separately or interacting, on biochemical responses in Menth...

Sustainable intensification of protected vegetable crops entails increasing yield while reducing environmental impact and labor input. To explore a comprehensive strategy for high yielding, highly efficient quality production greenhouse tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.), an integrated crop-nitrogen management (ICNM) was compared to farmers’ traditional (TM) in field experiment solar greenhouse. ...

In the old course of Yellow River area, most orchards are over-applied with nitrogen (N) fertilizers. To improve N management in this a 15N tracing experiment was conducted to investigate absorption, distribution and loss spring-topdressing urea pear from March August 2019. The 7-year-old Sucui 1 used as test material, 277.5 g ordinary 15 15N-urea were evenly applied each plant. utilization eff...

The application of fertilizers as a topdressing in maize raises serious concerns because too much fertilizer is retained the upper leaves, causing burning to tissues. In this study, use controlled-release and stabilized (with 3, 4-dimethylpyrazole phosphate) was compared with conventional split into two equivalent applications forage maize-oats cropping system. maize, 100 200 kg N ha−1 differen...

Applying nitrogen (N) fertilizer at irrational rates and basal topdressing ratios typically leads to high resource wastage serious environmental pollution is a global problem. A pot experiment was conducted between 2020 2021 investigate the effects of different N application on growth, yield, quality, water- N- use efficiencies forage maize. Four treatments were used, with following levels: 0 k...
