Abstract:Drought, excessive use of nitrogen fertilizer, and decline in soil organic matter threaten corn production. This study investigated the potential of water retaining agents, inhibitors, and corn stalks in enhancing soil physicochemical properties to bolster corn yield in semi-arid farmlands. In our study, polyacrylamide addition increased the content of ammonium nitrogen (NH4+-N) and nitrate nitrogen (NO3–-N) in the seedling stage, exchangeable potassium (K) in the mature stage but decreased the content of avai… Show more
