New study shows combining straw and manure boosts soil nitrogen levels.
The study looked at how combining nitrogen fertilizer with straw and manure affects the nitrogen levels in soil during the winter wheat season. Different treatments were tested, and it was found that using nitrogen fertilizer with straw and manure increased the amount of easily mineralizing nitrogen and microbial biomass nitrogen in the soil. This method helped to maintain high nitrogen levels in the soil before winter, which is important for improving nitrogen utilization and soil fertility.
