Upcycling of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) into value-added products represents a substantially
untapped opportunity to tackle environmental issues and achieve a circular economy. …

A two-location experiment was carried out at five to six nitrogen levels to study the relationship
between chlorophyll-meter readings (SPAD values) and physiological or yield traits in …

BACKGROUND: Foliar sprays of iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) fertilisers are known to be an
effective way to improve Fe and Zn concentrations in rice grain. However, results can differ …

Organic manure is widely applied in agricultural systems to improve soil nutrient cycling and

Field experiments were conducted in 2005 and 2006 to investigate the impacts of alternative
rice cultivation systems on grain yield, water productivity, N uptake and N use efficiency (…

Labile soil organic carbon fractions are important indicators of soil C dynamics, which is
affected by different management practices. However, few studies have reported the short-term …

Land application of farmyard manure (FYM) is a widespread agronomic practice used to
enhance soil fertility, but its long-term effects on soil microbial carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) …

Integrating inorganic fertilizers (NPK) with organic materials have been common practices for
sustainable agriculture production in low-productivity paddy soil. A 4-year field experiment …

A field experiment was conducted in 2005 to investigate the effects of modified rice cultivation
methods on: water use efficiency, the uptake of nutrients (N, P and K) by plants, and their …
