Abstract The current farming system is highly reliant on synthetic fertilizers, which adversely affect soil quality, the environment, and crop production. Improving productivity a sustainable basis challenging issue in agricultural system. To address this issue, we assumed that combined use of manure chemical fertilizers (CF) could improve rice ( Oryza sativa L.) grain yield properties without expense environment. Therefore, 2‐yr field experiment was conducted to explore optimal fertilizer management strategies using combination CF organic form cattle (CM) or poultry (PM). Manure added at two levels microbial biomass production, enzyme activities, nutrient content, as well were measured. study consisted six treatments: no N control, 100% (Pos‐Con), 60% + 40% (High‐CM), 30% 70% fertilizer, fertilizer. Results showed addition significantly increased enzymatic activities such invertase, acid phosphatase (POH), urease, catalase (CAT), β‐glucosidase, cellulase compared sole application. Similarly, application led significant increases C (MBC), (MBN), pH, (SOC), total N, available (AN), P (AP), yield. Average MBC, MBN, SOC AN, AP 0‐to‐20‐cm depth 62.2, 54.5, 29.2, 17.4, 19.8%, respectively, across years High‐CM treatment with Pos‐Con. In addition, linear regression analysis positively correlated MBC MBN. principal component analyses production played key role higher rice. Overall, results demonstrate paddy fields be beneficial for farmers southern China by improving functionality basis.

Excessive reliance on chemical fertilizer (CF) in conventional farming is a serious concern owing to its negative effects soil health, the environment, and crop productivity. Organic manure an alternative source of reduce amount CF usage agriculture, decrease environmental pollution, ensure sustainable production. This study assessed integrated effect poultry (PM) cattle (CM) with properties, plant physiology, rice grain yield. Additionally, difference pre-and post-anthesis dry matter (DM) nitrogen (N) accumulation their relationship yield was also determined. Pot experiments were performed early late growing season at experimental station Guangxi University, China, 2018. A total six treatments, i.e., T1—CF0; T2−100% CF; T3−60% CM + 40% T4−30% 70% T5−60% PM CF, T6−30% used this pot experiment. Results showed that T6 enhanced leaf photosynthetic efficiency by 11% 16%, chlorophyll content 8% 11%, panicle number 12% 15% seasons, respectively, compared T2. Similarly1, N DM accumulation, uptake, properties (i.e., organic carbon, N, bulk density) improved treatments over sole treatments. Interestingly, increases uptake production further supported N-metabolizing enzyme activities nitrate reductase, glutamine synthetase, glutamate oxoglutarate aminotransferase during grain-filling period combined In-addition, linear regression analysis (R2 = 0.95) 0.96) highly associated rice.
