Summary: The rising global population is expected to increase the demand for nitrogen fertilizers, with controlled release fertilizers emerging as a potential solution. However, challenges such as tailing effect and high materials cost are hindering the widespread application of CRF in agriculture. This review discusses issues related to conventional fertilizers and CRFs, comparing different raw materials and preparation methods while also examining factors affecting release rate and modeling approaches.

Summary: This study aims to develop a biochar-based controlled-release nitrogen fertilizer (BCRNF) to improve nitrogen supply time and rate, thereby increasing nitrogen use efficiency. Through impregnating ammonium sulfate in biochar and coating with polylactic acid, 70% of nitrogen was released in 12 days in water and 25 days in soil. The thermal stability was good, and the PLA concentration significantly affected the nitrogen release time and rate.

Summary: Algae have the potential to replace synthesized and mined fertilizers in agriculture by efficiently absorbing excess nutrients from waterways. Research shows that wheat seedlings can quickly acquire nutrients, especially phosphorus, from algal biomass, which promotes plant growth and is gradually released over time. The nutrient uptake kinetics and growth stimulation from algae suggest further research opportunities for sustainable agriculture practices.

Summary: The arbitrary and inefficient selection of phosphate fertilizer source in tobacco production on purple soil with low soil phosphorus (P) availability necessitates the rational selection of phosphate fertilizer. Study evaluated the effects of different phosphate fertilizer sources on inorganic P transformation, tobacco growth, and P utilization. The results showed that CMP and DAP were more suitable phosphate fertilizer sources due to their promotion of tobacco growth and development and increased P utilization.

Summary: Activated zinc biochar (ZnBC) and humic acid (HA) were used as coating agents to modify phosphorus (P) use efficiency. The coated treatments MAPZnBC and MAPHA showed decreased P diffusivity and increased water-soluble phosphorus recovery compared to MAP. Additionally, MAPZnBC led to increased shoot dry matter yield (SDM), while MAPHA highlighted enhanced P uptake and P use efficiency (PUE) in the fertosphere of high P-fixing soils.

Summary: In this study, a novel method using yellow phosphorus and phosphate rock slurry as absorbent is proposed for purifying H2S, which can achieve high removal efficiency and promote the production of phosphorus chemical products. The method involves H2S oxidation to SO2 and subsequent reaction with phosphate rock to form H2SO4, with the help of active substances generated in the process. High H2S removal efficiency of up to 85% can be achieved even under acidic conditions and low temperatures.

Summary: The fast weathering and intensive agricultural practices in tropical areas have led to the degradation of soil fertility. Biochar has been found to be an effective soil amendment for improving crop productivity in highly weathered tropical soils. However, further development is needed to reduce the production and application costs of biochar, and policy decisions are necessary to link economic benefits with social and environmental issues.

Summary: This study explored cost-effective and eco-friendly strategies for native soil phosphorus (P) solubilization, including using silicon (Si)-rich agro-wastes as a Si source and phosphate solubilizing microorganisms (PSM). The results showed that both strategies significantly increased the solubility of P in the soil, as well as the activity of soil enzymes and microbial biomass P. These findings suggest that utilizing agro-wastes as Si sources can complement expensive P fertilizers and address waste disposal issues in a sustainable manner.

Summary: Conversion of forest land uses to agriculture in Ranchi, India leads to a decrease in soil organic carbon (SOC) pools and affects soil aggregation and aggregate-associated carbon accumulation. The SOC concentration in native forest land is significantly higher than in rice-wheat, rice-vegetable, and maize-wheat land uses. Tillage and regular crop removal result in a loss of SOC contents in the surface layers and carbon storage within aggregates.

This study found that the application of rice straw and phosphorus solubilizing microbes (PSMs) can solubilize fixed phosphorus in the soil, improve the yield of wheat, and increase organic acid and enzyme activity in the rhizosphere. The recommended application rate is 12 Mg ha-1 of rice straw and PSMs plus 75% mineral phosphorus fertilizer to save 25% of phosphorus fertilizer without affecting yield.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of erosion degradation and long-term manure fertilization on soil properties and crop yield in Northeast China. Results show that erosion degradation and manure fertilization have lasting impacts on soil physical structure throughout the soil profile, while their effects on soil nutrient properties are focused in shallow layers. Manure fertilization significantly improves soil functional index (ISI) and maize yield for degraded soils. Erosion degradation has a greater influence on ISI and maize yield than manure fertilization.

Summary: This study investigates the structural strength of the Loess-Paleosol Sequence (LPS) and finds that the strength tends to increase with burial depth, with the loess layer weaker than the paleosol layer. The microstructure of the LPS also undergoes significant transformations with increased burial depth, transitioning from an overhead structure to a matrix structure. These findings highlight the importance of climate conditions on the structural strength of the LPS.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of long-term nutrient management practices on P fractions and P adsorption-desorption behaviour of an acid soil with a soybean-wheat cropping system. The findings revealed that amorphous Fe and Al, which play a significant role in P fixation, increased due to cultivation. The NPK+Lime treatment offered the most balanced approach, improving both crop yield and P uptake while effectively managing P dynamics in the soil. On the contrary, long-term application of NPK+FYM in an acid soil may result in faster P saturation of adsorption sites and increase the chances of leaching and eutrophication. Tailored P fertilization strategies should be developed to better utilize the PFe and PAl fractions and supplementing applied P.
