Current agricultural practices prioritize intensive food production, often at the expense of environmental sustainability. This approach results in greenhouse gas emissions and groundwater pollution due to over-fertilization. In contrast, organic agriculture promotes a more efficient use non-renewable energy, improves soil quality, reduces ecological damage. However, effects mulching manure on maize yield, water efficiency (WUE), nitrogen (NUE) China’s Loess Plateau have not been sufficiently researched. 2017 2018, an experiment utilizing randomized complete block design with two factors (two levels × three application rates) was conducted. The content upper layer found be 12.6% 19.4% higher than that subsoil layer. Across all depths years, nitrate-N mulched treatments 10% 31.8% greater non-mulched varying rates. Additionally, resulted increase grain yield 9.4% 8.9% 2018 compared treatments. A significant interaction observed between rate concerning WUE, alongside negative correlation WUE NUE. These findings suggest 270 kg N ha −1 sheep conjunction is highly recommended practice for Plateau, thereby supporting sustainable strategies.

Soil salinization has become a global resource and ecological issue, sunflower planting had good improvement effect on saline-alkali land. The study explores the collaborative management measures of subsurface drainage bio-organic fertilization with high-yield, high-quality, environmentally friendly sunflowers through experiments. We designed three pipe spacings (10, 15, 20 m) six methods combined application organic fertilizer (organic nitrogen 100%, 75% + inorganic 25%, each 50%, 25% 75%, 100% nitrogen, no treatment). Nine evaluation indexes were selected for four aspects yield increase, quality improvement, soil emission reduction, an index system was constructed. In model, TOPSIS entropy weight method calculated to compare select most suitable growth in results showed that best treatment spacing 10 m. Under this treatment, relative progress reached 0.574, yield, oleic acid content, matter salt reduction efficiency, N 2 O emissions 2.93 t/ha, 21.73%, 2.21%, 37.62%, 9.86 kg/ha, respectively.
