Estimating indigenous rhizobial populations is crucial for understanding soil rhizobia abundance, determining the potential need for inoculation, and evaluating the performance of introduced inoculant strains. However, in southern Ethiopia, informati...

The application of plasma-activated water and biostimulants offers a sustainable approach to supporting plant growth under reduced-nutrient conditions by supplying bioavailable nitrogen. This study investigated the growth and postharvest performance...

The Overseer model is widely used in New Zealand as a precision-agriculture-related tool for estimating nitrate (NO₃⁻) leaching losses in agricultural systems. This study evaluated the accuracy of the Overseer model in predicting nitrate (NO₃^&m...

Water and nitrogen supply are key factors limiting the establishment of alpine plant seedlings and the efficiency of ecological restoration on the Tibetan Plateau. As an endemic shrub to Tibet, the morphological and physiological response mechanisms...

Estimating nitrogen (N) and the corresponding crude protein (CP) content in forage crops is essential for optimizing fertilization and livestock nutrition. However, standard methods such as the Dumas and Kjeldahl techniques are destructive, costly, a...

Recently, the EU approved RENURE-criteria materials to be used as substitutes for synthetic N fertilisers. Several studies have been performed on the agronomic efficacy and potential environmental impacts of different bio-based fertilisers (BBFs) fro...

Pasture-based ruminant systems link nitrogen (N) nutrition with ecosystem N cycling. Grazing ruminants convert fibrous forages into milk and meat but excrete 65 to 80% of ingested N, creating excreta hotspots that drive ammonia volatilization, nitrat...

Agronomic systems that can guarantee consistent and sufficient crop yields must be developed and implemented in order to address the problems presented by climate change, especially the increase in average annual temperatures and the unequal distribu...

The increasing demand for sustainable agriculture requires innovative strategies to enhance nitrogen use efficiency while minimizing environmental losses associated with conventional fertilizers. This study aimed to develop and compare ammonium chlor...

This study evaluated the effects of applying fecal sludge-based co-compost (CC) integrated with chemical fertilizers on soil nutrient status, organic carbon (OC) storage, and economic returns in paddy soils. Ten integrated nutrient management (INM) t...
