The last few years have witnessed the emergence of alternative measures to control plant
parasitic nematodes (PPNs). We briefly reviewed the potential of compost and the direct or …

Soils store vast amounts of carbon (C) on land, and increasing soil organic carbon (SOC)
stocks in already managed soils such as croplands may be one way to remove C from the …

Soil organic carbon (SOC) is essential for most soil functions. Changes in land use from
natural land to cropland disrupt long-established SOC balances and reduce SOC levels …

In the cultivation of crops in recent times, in addition to taking care of the balanced supply of
nutrients to plants and the protection of soil resources, it is also important to take into …

The use of organic compost associated with nitrogen (N) fertilization has been intensively
studied, revealing the promotion of changes in soil microbial properties. However, few …

Soil microorganisms play an important role in the energy flow and nutrient cycling between
soil and plants, but the impact of fertilizers on soil bacterial and fungal communities in sandy …

Applications of mineral fertilizer to grasslands have become more frequent in recent
decades to increase forage production. However, the impacts of mineral fertilizer on the soil …

Mixed-crop-livestock farms offer the best conditions for sustainable nutrient management in
organic farming. However, if stocking rates are too low, sustainability might be threatened …

To combat climate change and environmental pollution, agriculture must reduce mineral
fertilizer use and adopt sustainable, low-input, and organic practices. In such systems, plants …
