Nitrogen Management in a Maize-Groundnut Crop Rotation of Humid Tropics: Effect on N2O Emission by M.I. Khalil, A.B. Rosenani, O. Van Cleemput, C.I. Fauziah, J. Shamshuddin

“…The same plots showed a residual effect by emitting the highest N2O (4053 μg N2O-N m–2 day– 1) during maize cultivation supplied with a halfrate of N fertilizer. Application of N fertilizer only or in combination with crop residues exhibited either lowered fluxes or caused a sink during the groundnut and fallow periods due to small availability of substrates and/or low water-filled pore space (<40%). …”

How do various strategies for returning residues change microbiota modulation: potential implications for soil health by Nan Jiang, Nan Jiang, Zhenhua Chen, Zhenhua Chen, Yi Ren, Shichang Xie, Zimeng Yao, Zimeng Yao, Dongqi Jiang, Yulan Zhang, Yulan Zhang, Lijun Chen, Lijun Chen

“…However, the effects of various returning strategies on the soil microbiota, which play an essential vital role in maintaining soil health, remains largely unexplored.MethodsIn a study conducted, different residue management strategies were implemented, involving the application of chemical fertilizers and residues that had undergone chopping (SD), composting (SC), and pyrolysis (BC) processes, with conventional fertilization serving as the control (CK).Results and discussionUsing metagenomic sequencing, the analysis revealed that while all residue returning strategies had minimal effects on the diversity (both α and β) of microbiota, they did significantly alter microbial functional genes related to carbon (C), nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and sulfur (S) cycling, as well as the presence of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and pathogens. …”

Influence of Tithonia diversifolia and cattle manures on the growth and yield of sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) by Ehiokhilen Eifediyi, Henry Ahamefule, Felix Ogedegbe, Taiwo Agbede, Isiaka Kareem, Appiah Ajayi

“…The cost of inorganic fertilizer is going beyond the reach of the average sesame farmer; the need therefore arises to synthesize farming practices that incorporate the rich organic materials locally available as a substitute for inorganic fertilizer for sustainable food production.Methods A study was conducted at the Teaching and Research Farm, University of Ilorin, Nigeria during the 2018 and 2019 cropping seasons, to evaluate the performance of sesame using T. diversifolia and cattle manures.  …”
