Rice (Oryza sativa L.) and wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) are now grown in sequence on the
same land in the same year over 26Mha of South and East Asia to meet the food demand of …

Rice residues are important natural resources, and recycling of these residues improves the
soil physical, chemical and biological properties. Management of rice straw is a major …

A 3-year field study was conducted to evaluate the effect of three tillage practices
(conventional, zero and reduced/strip) with two nitrogen levels (120 and 150kgNha− 1) …

This 2-year field experiment investigated the effects of full straw incorporation on soil fertility
and crop yield in a rice-wheat (Oryza sativa L.–Triticum aestivum L.) rotation on sandy …

Nitrogen fertility is an important component of rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivation systems,
especially where air and soil quality issues have prompted a search for alternatives to rice …

Opinions differ as to the importance of organic amendments (OA) for sustaining crop
productivity in the intensive, irrigated rice systems of Asia. Our objectives were to (1) quantify …

We investigated short-and long-term effects of rice straw application to paddy soils on crop
growth, mineralization of straw N, and soil N supply under flooded and upland conditions …

Temporal nitrogen (N) availability in fertilized rice paddies is the result of a balance of
processes, mainly the gross rates of N mineralization, microbial and abiotic immobilization …

CONTEXT Deterioration of soil physico–chemical properties as a result of puddling and
burning of rice straw is one of the big challenges for the farmers in Indo Gangetic plains …

In order to reach an optimum and sustainable production, growers must know the fertilizing
nutrient sources and their application rates. The present study aimed to determine the effect …
