Boost Rice Yields with Green Manure and Wheat Straw Combo!
The study looked at how adding organic materials like green manure and wheat straw to paddy soils affects soil nitrogen levels and rice yield. They found that adding high C/N materials increased soil nitrogen when no synthetic nitrogen was used. Decomposed green manure improved soil nitrogen supply at a certain synthetic nitrogen rate. Returning green manure and wheat straw to soil had a bigger impact when synthetic nitrogen was also used. Overall, rice yield increased when both organic and synthetic nitrogen were applied together.
