Application of spent Agaricus subrufescens compost in integrated production of seedlings and plants of tomato by Raul Xavier Lopes, Diego Cunha Zied, Emerson Tokuda Martos, Rovilson José De Souza, Romildo Da Silva, Eustáquio Souza Dias

“…Conclusion It was concluded that the use of spent A. subrufescens compost for seedling production led to a higher total tomato production compared to previously reported production levels in organic cultivation systems with green, organic and other types of fertilization. These results demonstrated the great potential of spent A. subrufescens compost for use in organic tomato production because of the better quality of harvested fruit.…”

Environmental Influences on Growth and Reproduction of Invasive Commelina benghalensis by Mandeep K. Riar, Danesha S. Carley, Chenxi Zhang, Michelle S. Schroeder-Moreno, David L. Jordan, Theodore M. Webster, Thomas W. Rufty

“…Collectively, the results indicate that (1) fertility management in highly weathered soils may strongly constrain competitiveness of C. benghalensis; (2) shorter photoperiods will limit vegetative competitiveness later in the growing seasons of most crops; and (3) the high degree of reproductive plasticity and output possessed by C. benghalensis will likely cause continual persistence problems in agricultural fields.…”

Spatial characteristics of soil potassium in the early stage of vegetation restoration and influencing factors in southwest China’s karst region by Yunjie Wu, Yujie Wu, Peiran He, Qian Meng, Runze Wang, Mingyi Zhang, Guo Yuan, Yue Zhao, Xin Tian

“…The TK content in the karst areas tended to approach that of the vegetation restoration zone. (2) After restoration, the dominant plants changed from Gramineae to Gramineae + Asteraceae, and the vegetation richness increased, thereby improving the soil fertility and potassium fixation capacity. (3) The GLMM showed that the karst landscape had a significant effect on the TK and AK contents of surface soil. …”
