“…The input of organic materials also supplemented C and N for microbial growth. The physicochemical properties of different materials were different, such as the C/N ratio (Sun et al., 2021) and decomposition rate, so it had a significant impact on soil and N utilization. Pig manure has a low C/N ratio and promotes the transformation of organic N to inorganic N (Xu et al., 2007), which is of great significance for improving soil nitrate N content.…”

Organic materials incorporation and nitrogen utilization are both important measures to enhance soil fertility and crop productivity. To evaluate the effect of different organic materials on soil N utilization and crop yield, three kinds of organic materials, including straw (ST), pig manure (PM), and biogas residue (BR), were incorporated into the soil with equal N in the wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)-maize (Zea mays L.) cropping system with chemical fertilizers (CFs) as a control in Wuqiao County in the North China Plain. The contents of soil N, nitrate N, ammonium N, N use efficiency, N partial productivity (NPFP), N uptake efficiency (NUPE), and N harvest index (NHI) were measured and calculated. The results of 2-yr field trials suggested that, compared with CF, soil total N (TN) content of ST, PM, and BR treatment increased by 3.04, 8.99, and 9.10%, respectively. An even larger increase was found in nitrate N, which was 25.87, 44.67, and 44.93% in ST, PM, and BR, respectively. For N utilization, PM significantly increased NPFP, NUPE, and NHI by 4.01, 5.86, and 3.04%, respectively, meanwhile decreasing soil N dependency rate by 4.64%; BR improved NUPE by 5.15%, while ST showed little improvement in the utilization of soil N. Overall, organic materials promoted soil N maintenance and increased N utilization.Among the kinds of organic material amendment in the study, PM had a better performance in improving soil N utilization and crop yield than BR and crop ST return in field experiments. INTRODUCTIONIn crop and soil systems, N has been suggested to be a factor in crop growth and yielding ability by participating in plant genetic metabolism (material synthesis and signal transduc-

“…As a kind of plentiful source of carbon, straw could be provided for stock-raising as fodder and then transformed into manure via livestock digestion [97]. Practically, some experiments have tried to compare the improvement effect between straw and manure [97][98][99][100]. In terms of the difference between straw and manure, straw has a higher C/N (approximately 55:1) and a compact structure that is recalcitrant to decomposition [17], whereas manure has a lower C/N (approximately 25:1), which facilitates the decomposition of exogenous carbon by soil microbes, thereby accelerating the mineralization speed of soil nutrients [101].…”

“…Furthermore, compared with the chemical fertilizer, the organic fertilizer was able to immobilize surplus TN, preventing its loss [98]. In dryland farming, the combination of organic fertilizer with straw can boost soil microbial quantity, soil enzyme activity, and crop yield under maize cultivation [99]. In the results of a study on Andisols, the application of crop residues with manure could attain the biggest yield among respective treatments in both no-tillage and tillage systems [100].…”

As the main organic materials, straw and manure play a critical role in soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration and crop yield in China. This meta-analysis evaluated the impact of straw and manure amendments, both individually and combined, on crop yield, SOC, and soil nutrients in China by collecting 173 studies. The findings of this study revealed that straw return and manure application increased crop yields by 14.4% and 70.4%, respectively, overall. Combined straw and manure application gained a better improvement effect than straw alone but was less effective than manure alone. Regarding the straw return results, rice straw and a 3000–6000 kg ha−1 returning quantity improved crop yield, SOC, available phosphorus (AP), available potassium (AK), and total nitrogen (TN) the most; regarding the straw return form, straw incorporated into soil and biochar increased crop yield and SOC more, respectively; and <5 years and ≥5 years of straw return treatment increased crop yield and TN more, respectively. Regarding manure application, pig and chicken manure increased crop yield and TN more, respectively; a 50–80% substitution ratio and 10–20 years of duration were best for improving crop yield, SOC, AP, AK, and TN. This study highlights the importance of optimal organic amendment through straw or manure applications to achieve a win–win between crop yield and soil fertility under the requirement of sustainable agriculture.

“…Catalase activity is based on oxygen release rates from added hydrogen peroxide and closely correlates with the metabolic activity of aerobic organisms(Kızılkaya et al, 2004). The application of various organic waste types, including municipal solid waste, biowaste, food waste, sewage sludge, and manure, has been shown to enhance soil's physical, chemical, and biological properties, often resulting in increased soil microorganism numbers(Sun et al, 2021) Lalande et al (1998). suggested that the quantity of organic matter incorporated into the soil exerts a greater in uence on enzyme activities than the quality of the organic matter.…”

Aims This study delves into the impact of incorporating diverse organic waste materials on soil biological and chemical attributes within the rhizosphere of Albion strawberry plants (Fragaria x ananassa Duch.).Methods Eight organic waste types, including Cow Manure (CM), Poultry Manure (PM), Sheep Manure (SM), Vermicompost (VC), Rice Husk (RH), Wheat Straw (WS), Tea Waste (TW), and Hazelnut Husk (HH), were directly applied before strawberry transplantation. Effects on plant growth, soil chemical, and biological characteristics were assessed. In a controlled greenhouse, animal and plant waste impacts on rhizosphere and strawberry growth were examined. After applying organic waste (5% of pot weight), strawberries were transplanted. Soil moisture was monitored and maintained near field capacity. Employing a 61-day completely randomized design, soil samples were collected, analyzing microbial biomass C, basal soil respiration, dehydrogenase, and catalase.Results Findings revealed TW pronounced influence on basal soil respiration compared to controls, while WS significantly impacted microbial biomass carbon (MBC). SM notably affected DHA, while PM most influenced CA. All treatments augmented OM. SM, CM, and VC increased total N; conversely, TW, RH, WS, HH, and PM decreased it.Conclusions These findings highlight the ability of diverse organic waste to improve soil health and plant development within the rhizosphere of Albion strawberry plants. In addition to adds to our understanding of sustainable farming practices and provides useful information for farmers and policymakers who want to maximize organic waste usage in agricultural systems. More research and field experiments are needed to investigate the long-term impacts of these organic waste additions in real-world agricultural contexts.
