Composting technologies have come a long way, developing from static heaps and windrow
composting to smart, artificial intelligence-assisted reactor composting. While in previous …

An increase in nitrogen (N) recovery efficiency, also denoted as N use efficiency (NUEr), is
crucial to reconcile food production and environmental health. This study assessed the …

Recycling of livestock manure to agricultural land may reduce the use of synthetic fertilizer
and thereby enhance the sustainability of food production. However, the effects of …

The partial substitution of chemical fertilizers with organic manure has positive effects on
crop productivity and sustainable development. Nevertheless, few studies have focused on …

Organic solid waste loading emerges as a serious environmental threat. Vermicomposting
and composting are the two biological processes having the potential to effectively treat …

Recent 15 nitrogen (N) tracing studies have shown that unlabeled N 2 O emissions (UNEs)
following 15 N fertilizer application tend to be higher than those from zero-N controls, which …

This study examines the impacts of mobile information technology adoption on
agrochemical expenditures, using data collected from 551 wheat farmers in China. Unlike …

Manure, which contains large amounts of antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs),
is widely used in agricultural soils and may lead to the evolution and dispersal of ARGs in …

The application of nitrogen (N) fertilizer is key to realize high crop yields and ensure food
security. Excessive N application and relatively low N use efficiency (NUE), however, have …

To ensure global food security, agriculture must increase productivity while reducing
environmental impacts associated with chemical nitrogen (N) fertilisation. This necessitates …
