The use of nitrification inhibitors (NIs) with ammonium (NH 4+)-based fertilizers is an efficient
strategy for reducing nitrogen (N) loss by affecting ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) and …

Excessive chemical nitrogen (N) fertilizer application and flood irrigation in rice production
can lead to substantial soil-N losses and low nitrogen-use-efficiency (NUE) in rice due to N …

Soil health card (SHC) based management is needed for efficient management of resources
and sustainable crop productivity. Soil health index (SHI) could be used as a yardstick for …

MATERIALS AND METHODS The study was carried out during the 2007-2008 and 2008-
2009 growing seasons in two soils with a rice monocrop located in south central Chile. Both …

Techniques to increase grain production such as nitrogen fertilization and plant growth
regulators are essential to enable and enhance rice yield. Therefore, our goal was to …

Rice-based cropping systems are the foundation of food security in countries of Southeast
Asia, but productivity of such systems has declined with deterioration in soil quality. These …

Purpose Soil organic nitrogen (SON) mineralization is a crucial process of nutrient dynamics
for plant growth. However, impacts of long-term rice cultivation on SON composition and …

The sustainability of dominant rice-wheat rotation is under threat due to numerous water-,
nutrients-, weeds-and environment-related problems, mainly, due to rice cultivation in north …

Organics, biological, and inorganic fertilizers play a crucial role for improving crop yield and
soil properties. Accordingly, we assessed their impact on yield, microbial activities, and …

The rice (Oryza sativa L.) crop is very important worldwide for its contribution to human
nutrition. Rice grain yield depends on several agronomic management factors that must also …
