Crop rotation and microbial driving force significantly influence soil phosphorus (P) bioavailability and crop yield. However, differences in underlying microbial mechanisms in rotations remain unclear. We examined rice yield, P uptake, soil and micr...
Oilseed rape (Brassica napus) is a crucial global oil crop. It is generally cultivated in rotation with rice in southern China’s Yangtze River Basin, where the wet soil and residue retention after rice harvest significantly hinder its seedling...
The present study aims to assess the influences of long-term crop straw returning and recommended potassium fertilization on the dynamic change in rice and oilseed rape yield, soil properties, bacterial and fungal alpha diversity, and community compo...
The rotation patterns of summer rice–winter oil seed rape and summer rice–winter fallow are the main planting regimes in the rice ecosystem in southern China. However, the impact of local rotation patterns and landscape factors on the ove...
Straw return (SR) has been widely recommended as a conservation agricultural practice in China. However, the effects of SR on crop yield and soil properties are inconsistent across studies of rice–oilseed rape cropping systems in China. This st...
Tillage and crop rotation alter soil environments, thereby influencing both crop yields and methane-cycling microbiomes, yet their combined effects on microbial diversity, assembly, and interaction networks remain unclear. Using a two-factor field ex...
From May 2019 to May 2022, a field experiment was conducted to clarify the effects of paddy–upland rotations on rice yield and greenhouse gas emissions in winter paddy fields. Four types of rotation pattern, rice–oilseed rape, rice–...
Incorporating oilseed-rape straw in soil is one of the effective methods for enhancing the use efficiency of agricultural resources in the rape-rice rotation system. However, the impacts of oilseed-rape straw incorporation on root growth and dynamic...
Effective weed control is essential for sustainable and safe rice production, particularly under the long-term and widespread use of chemical herbicides. Oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) is one of the most important oil crops worldwide, and the oilse...
Effective management of straw in rice (Oryza sativa L.)–rape (Brassica napus L.) rotation systems is essential for optimising resource efficiency and improving soil quality. This two-year study investigated the impact of seven straw treatment m...
Blackleg (Phoma) disease, caused by the ascomycete fungi Plenodomus biglobosus and P. lingam, threatens oilseed rape (OSR; Brassica napus) crops internationally. In many parts of the world, both species co-occur, but in China only P. biglobosus has s...
