Summary: The study demonstrates that rice fields can act as both nitrogen sources and sinks under different climatic conditions. By improving management technologies, rice fields can be transformed into nitrogen sinks for the atmosphere while reducing nitrogen emissions to water bodies, without affecting rice yield and soil fertility.

Summary: Treated wastewater (TWW) is increasingly used for agricultural irrigation, with higher concentrations of plant nutrients N, P, and K than freshwater. However, excessive nutrient inputs can be harmful. The study developed six indices to assess TWW-irrigation sustainability and spatio-temporal trends in NPK loads, indicating the need for redistribution of high-quality TWW in specific areas and the development of local environmental standards for maximizing nutrient utilization.

Summary: The study aimed to examine the effects of irrigation water quantity, irrigation water salinity, and nitrogen application rate on nitrogen fertilizer absorption and cotton yield. The results showed that the salinity of irrigation water had no effect on soil nitrogen transport, and the soil nitrogen content increased with the increase in nitrogen application. A low level of irrigation increased the lateral migration of nitrogen, whereas excessive irrigation increased the migration of nitrogen to deep soil. The most recommended irrigation and fertilization strategy was 675 mm irrigation amount, 1.5 dS m(-1) irrigation water salinity, and 200 kg N ha(-1) nitrogen application.

Summary: In rice-wheat production in India, improving nitrogen application through the use of nano fertilizers and conservation tillage can increase wheat productivity and profitability. The study showed that applying 150 kg N/ha as basal and before the first and second irrigation, along with a spray of nano urea, improved growth, yield, and quality parameters in wheat compared to conventional practices.

Summary: This study focused on the impact of water table levels and nitrogen fertilizer rates on potato growth and tuber yield, showing that optimal soil water content and water table management play a crucial role in maximizing crop yields and quality. Adjusting water table levels throughout the season according to crop evapotranspiration can reduce irrigation water requirements and minimize the risks of soil water saturation and yield losses.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of different resource management strategies on winter wheat production in the North China Plain. The results showed that combining the irrigation scheduling of IS35 with the nitrogen fertilization strategy of NS25:75 under a drip irrigation lateral spacing of 40 cm had a positive impact on the growth and yield parameters of winter wheat. These findings are important for improving the knowledge of winter wheat production in the farming community and advancing the development of drip irrigation technology.

Summary: This study evaluated the physical and chemical qualities, nutrition, aroma components, and sensory evaluation of 17 varieties of table grapes. The quality evaluation system of different varieties was determined. The results showed that Ruby Seedless had the highest soluble solid content, Aishenmeigui and Sweet Sapphire had the highest total phenol content, and Aishenmeigui had high levels of tannin and vitamin C. In addition, certain varieties had higher levels of aroma content and compounds. Shine-Muscat, Ruby Seedless, and Aishenmeigui had higher comprehensive scores in sensory evaluation, indicating better overall quality.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of girdling and foliar fertilization with potassium (alone and in combination) on grape quality. The results showed that the combination treatment enhanced fruit enlargement, increased phenolic compound accumulation, and significantly improved volatile compound concentrations. The gene VvDXS was found to be a potential candidate for regulating important grape terpenes.

Summary: Precise management of water and fertilizer is crucial for maximizing greenhouse tomato production. An experiment was conducted in two cities, Yangling and Baoji, over four growing seasons to determine the effects of irrigation quantity and fertilizer application rate on tomato yield, water and fertilizer productivity, and quality. TOPSIS models were used to predict these effects.

Summary: The study found that the factors influencing fruit yield and water use efficiency were irrigation amount, fertilization rate at the fruit expansion stage, and fertilization rate at the flowering stage, while the factors influencing water, vitamin C and carotenoid contents in fruit were irrigation amount, fertilization rate at the fruit ripening stage, and fertilization rate at the fruit expansion stage. Additionally, the factors influencing soluble solids and total sugar contents were irrigation amount, fertilization rate at the fruit ripening stage, and fertilization rate at the flowering stage.

Summary: This study examines the impact of combined irrigation and fertilizer control on the yield, nitrogen use efficiency, and nitrogen leaching in summer maize in the Yellow River Basin. A water-nitrogen movement model is constructed to evaluate different treatments, and a genetic algorithm is used to optimize the water-fertilizer coupling scheme. The results show that the interaction of irrigation method, fertilizer rate, and application frequency significantly affects nitrogen use efficiency. The optimal management model achieves high yield, improved nitrogen use efficiency, and reduced nitrogen leaching.

Summary: This study focused on the impact of irrational water and fertilizer regimes in greenhouse vegetable fields on the environment and economic aspects. The results showed that traditional flood irrigation led to nitrogen surplus and high risk of loss, while using drip fertigation and reducing urea-N application could reduce nitrogen and greenhouse gas emissions, but negatively affect farmers' net return.

Summary: Fig fruits have gained popularity among consumers as fresh or dried fruits, leading to increased interest from growers. This study investigated the potential of new processing applications for fig cultivars grown in Mediterranean countries. The results showed that three out of four cultivars had good quality characteristics and were well-received by consumers, while one cultivar was less appreciated. Appearance, flavor, and taste were key factors driving consumer acceptance of dried fig disks.

Summary: Climate change has a direct impact on the quantity and quality of grapes, especially through the influence of air temperature. A study conducted in the Apulia winegrowing region of southern Italy examined three bioclimatic indices based on temperature to classify the climate and predict its evolution under different future scenarios. The results showed that under the most likely and mildest scenario, certain areas in Apulia could still support quality viticulture, while the highly unlikely scenario indicated a significant decline in suitable areas for grape cultivation.
