Appropriate grazing pressure and fertilizer application of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) are effective measures to increase grassland productivity. In this study, we report on the interactive effects of grazing intensity and fertilizer application on soil properties, enzyme characteristics, and soil bacterial community compositions. The experimen...

Acid soils are a major constraint to agricultural productivity in many parts of sub-Saharan Africa, including Ethiopia. Restoring soil pH to optimal ranges for agriculture can have a significant impact on yields, particularly for acid intolerant crops like wheat and barley. The application of agricultural lime is the standard corrective, although t...

Er zijn in Nederland grote zorgen over de kwaliteit van grond- en oppervlaktewater mede in relatie tot landbouwactiviteiten. Vanuit Europees en landelijk beleid is daarom mestwetgeving in uitvoering om de belasting van het water met stikstof en fosfor te verlagen. In 2022 is besloten om de derogatie af te bouwen en zijn via de derogatiebeschikking ...

Introduction In China, alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) often grows in marginal land with poor soil fertility and suboptimal climate conditions. Alfalfa production cannot meet demands both in yield and quality. It is necessary to apply fertilizers to achieve high yields and produce high-quality alfalfa in China. However, there is no understanding on th...

Cold regions are warming faster than the rest of the planet, with the greatest warming occurring during the winter and shoulder seasons. Warmer winters are further predicted to result in more frequent soil freezing and thawing events. Freeze-thaw cycles affect biogeochemical soil processes and alter carbon and nutrient export from soils, hence impa...

The demand for nitrogen (N) for crop production increased rapidly from the middle of the twentieth century and is predicted to at least double by 2050 to satisfy the on-going improvements in productivity of major food crops such as wheat, rice and maize that underpin the staple diet of most of the world's population. The increased demand will need ...

Acid soils in the Amazon region are characterized by low fertility and high aluminum saturation causing reduced crop yields. Improving genetic adaptation of crop genotypes together with suitable agronomic management practices can mitigate the impact on crop production in acid soils. The objective of the present study was to determine the photosynth...
