The excessive use of chemical fertilizers has resulted in a decline soil quality, crop yield, and quality. Partial substitution with organic is sustainable practice that can alleviate these issues. However, comprehensive evaluation the effects partial on muskmelon fertility, economic benefits remains unclear. We conducted greenhouse experiment production Shandong, China, involving five treatments: no fertilization (CK); total fertilizer (CON); only replacing base (OPT); 15% (OF15) 30% (OF30) based optimized fertilization. Our results indicated treatments (OF15 OF30) improved yield by 5.60–11.9% compared to CON. Furthermore, Vitamin C, soluble protein, sugar content were higher OF15 OF30 than Compared CON, significantly increased matter, N, K, alkaline-hydrolyzable, available P, K. Additionally, benefit analysis revealed net 5.60–14.9% respectively, Collectively, findings suggest mineral improves productivity, enhances nutrients, increases benefits.

The Chinese Chernozems face extreme challenges of soil degradation and crop productivity decline. Biochar-based organic fertilizer (BOF) is effectively applied to improve yield quality. Nonetheless, the mechanisms involved in enhancement interaction with root traits, quality, microorganisms after BOF application remain unclear. Herein, a two-year field experiment three rates [3.0 Mg ha−1 (BOF3), 6.0 (BOF6), 9.0 (BOF9)] was conducted evaluate impact on microorganisms, no as control treatment (CK). Compared CK, increased maize by 9.1 ∼ 32.0 % second year application, highest (16.1 ha−1) obtained BOF6. plant growth index 29.7 98.9 %, mainly attributed increase volume (2.4 57.4 %), aboveground biomass (31.4 44.0 nitrogen (N) uptake (123.2 216.0 %). quality not only topsoil (27.7 31.1 %) but also subsoil (22.7 25.1 BOF, particularly two (BOF6 BOF9). This ascribed notable microbial carbon, total N, NH4+-N, N-acquiring enzyme activity (normalized leucine aminopeptidase alkaline phosphatase). Moreover, abundance Actinobacteria, Mortierellomycota at 0–40 cm, Chloroflexi 0–20 Acidobacteriota, Ascomycota 20–40 which confirmed their key roles activating nutrient subsequent enhancing stimulating growth. Overall, biochar-based rate promising regime enhance regulating keystone taxa, thereby boosting Chernozem soil.

Excessive use of nitrogen fertilizer affects the sustainable development Korla fragrant pear orchard. Semi-decomposed sheep manure is favored because its advantages being pollution-free, containing more microorganisms, and friendly to soil. However, effects combined with on soil nutrient cycling microbial community in orchards are still unclear. This study involved a two-year field experiment investigate fertilization’s 0–20 cm layer 10–12-year-old trees at maturity. The purpose this was explore effect reducing fertility treatments no (N0), conventional fertilization (N), 20% reduction based (N2), combination F1 (22,500 kg·hm−2), F2 (33,750 kg·hm−2) formed experimental treatment manure, denoted as N2F1 N2F2. results showed that application increased physicochemical indicators but decreased pH bacterial richness diversity. After reduction, total (TN), alkaline hydrolysis (AN), available phosphorus (AP), biomass (SMBN), richness, fungal evenness, diversity were inhibited, increased. Nitrogen content nitrate (NO3−–N), ammonium (NH4+–N), organic matter (SOM), pH, carbon (SMBC), SMBN evenness inhibited community. Among them, N2F2 had best SMBC SMBN. Soil NO3−–N, SOM primary environmental variables influencing levels. significantly influenced orchard yields, yield pears treated significant variation complete application. In summary, (300 22,500–33,750 kg·hm−2 better promotes stability health communities, represents most efficient approach quickly enhancing communities.

Soil microorganisms play vital roles in energy flow and soil nutrient cycling and, thus, are important for crop production. A detailed understanding of the complex responses microbial communities to diverse organic manure chemical fertilizers (CFs) is crucial agroecosystem sustainability. However, little known about response fungal nutrients CFs, especially under double-rice cropping systems. In this study, we investigated effects application combined CFs various fertilization strategies, such as no N fertilizer (Neg-CF); 100% (Pos-CF); 60% cattle (CM) + 40% CF (high-CM); 30% CM 70% (low-CM); poultry (PM) (high-PM), PM (low-PM) on communities' structure diversity, environmental variables, rice yield. Results showed that synthetic plus addition significantly increased fertility grain yield compared sole CFs' application. Moreover, changed community relative abundance fungi phyla Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, Mortierellomycota, Rozellomycota. The abundances dramatically differed at each taxonomic level, between manured non-manured regimes. Principal coordinates analysis (PCoA) exhibited greater impacts amendments than distributions. Redundancy dominant were positively correlated with pH, C (SOC), total N, biomass C, was strongly affected by SOC. Network explored positive relationships could increase their adaptability relevant environments. addition, structural equation model (SEM) shows relationship biomass, nutrients, SEM contents availability directly affect yield, while indirectly through production levels. Our results suggest altered biochemical traits counteracted some adverse fertilizer. Overall, findings research integrated a better approach improving health
