Rice straw incorporation and Azolla application improves agronomic nitrogen-use-efficiency and rice grain yields in paddy fields

Frontiers in Soil Science, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 4

Published: May 21, 2024

In paddy soils, excessive application of N fertilizer often results in substantial losses due to low utilization efficiency. However, this condition can be mitigated by enhancing soil organic carbon content. Two-year field experiment was carried out at Mkula Irrigation Scheme Kilombero Valley, Tanzania with the aim investigating impact Azolla, rice straw incorporation and reduced levels nitrogen input from NPKS-containing fertilizers on use efficiency, chemical properties grain yield. Assuming that technology will introduce a novel perspective research, shedding light alternative potentially more sustainable methods for management it particularly relevant sub-Saharan Africa, where annual cost is expected continue rising. The treatments involved absolute control, half dose (50 kg ha -1 ), full (100 combination these doses PKS, dry Azolla (3.4 t ) (6.9 through omission approach. experimental area sandy clay loam texture, very strongly acid (pH 4.8), normal electrical conductivity (0.06 dS m amounts recorded (1.35%), total (0.33%), 0.68 mg −1 available P, exchangeable potassium (0.15 cmol (+) calcium (0.19 sodium percentage (3.75%), cation exchange capacity (1.6 ). showed +100 + 30 P K 20 S resulted higher yield, uptake agronomic efficiency N. being an effective biofertilizer, significantly contributes fixation enrichment.

Residue recycling options and their implications for sustainable nitrogen management in rice–wheat agroecosystems

Ecological Processes, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 12(1)

Published: Nov. 10, 2023

Abstract Background In the Indo-Gangetic Plain, rice–wheat is most extensively practiced crop rotation. The escalating issue of residue burning, particularly rice straw, and necessity to lower exorbitant expenses associated with fertilizer inputs stand out as significant challenges for farmers in region. A well-suited integrated nutrient management (INM) strategy that focuses on recycling residues can serve a solution address these issues. Such not only mitigates air pollution resulting from burning but also helps combat water due nitrate losses agroecosystems. Field experiments were used evaluate suitability eight INM-modules included various combinations inorganic rates (50%, 100%, 150% recommended dose), (wheat stubble retention at 30 cm standing equivalent 1/3 straw yield), compost (RSC), farmyard manure (FYM), green manuring (GM), compared 100% dose fertilizers (F) no application. Results There was considerable improvement nitrogen mineralization, grain yields, use efficiency under GM + RSC-F50 FYM-F50. These INM modules would permit 50% reduction chemical fertilizers. little yield penalty situ incorporation F; however, this could be overcome F wheat full application resulted steadily rising yields over time.
