ABSTRACT

This study investigated the effects of crop rotations and different ratios of dairy manure fertilizer on nitrogen loss and rice yield in the Erhai Lake basin. Two kinds of herbages were set in the rotation: Ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum cv.‘Tetragold’) (R) and Villose Vetch (Vicia villosa var. Glabresens) (V). The experiment involved two-year field tests with nine management treatments. The results showed that the rice-Vicia villosa rotation with 70% chemical and 30% dairy cattle manure fertilization increased rice yield significantly, while reducing nitrogen runoff losses and increasing microbial abundance with nitrification and nitrogen fixation. The microbial abundance varied among tested soils, with Alphaproteobacteria, Rhodopseudomonas, Rhizobiales, Bradyrhizobium, and Azotobacter Vinelandii being the highest in 70% chemical fertilizer + 30% manure rice Villose Vetch (R-V) to ameliorate plant growth and strengthen the efficiency of nutrient uptake, whereas that of Planctomycete was comparatively lower to promote long-term N stabilization in soil. The 70% F—30% M R-V treatment also significantly decreased nitrate reductase and ammonia monooxygenase enzyme activity, potentially improving fertilizer use efficiency, and reducing gaseous losses. The LEfSe analysis results indicated that 70% F—30% M R-V fertilizers significantly enhanced the abundances of metabolic genes related to energy and nitrogen. These findings suggested that appropriate agricultural management using rice-Vicia villosa rotation and 70% chemical + 30% dairy cattle manure fertilization can improve the soil quality and sustainability of agroecosystems.
