Long-Term Green Manure Incorporation with Reduced Chemical Fertilizer Enhances Soil Quality and Rice Yield by Altering Soil Microbial Communities’ Structure and Functions in Paddy Soils
Excessive use of chemical fertilizers degrades soil health and threatens sustainable crop production, which can be mitigated by partially substituting chemical fertilizers with Chinese milk vetch (Astragalus sinicus L., MV, as green manure). However, the mechanisms through which MV incorporation alters soil microbial c...
