Long Term Experiment

In our researches, we examine the soil microbial parameters related to the carbon cycle. In this study, we compare the changes of microbial biomass carbon (MBC) and the soil CO2 production in soil samples which were taken in spring and autumn. The 30 years old long-term experiment of Debrecen-Látókép is continued in our experiments. The long-term fertilization experiment was set in 1983, and our sample was taken in spring 2014. The examinations of soil respiration processes and factors that influence soil respiration are required in optimal management. In our study, we interested to know how the growing levels of fertilization influence the soil respiration and microbial biomass carbon under non-irrigated and irrigated conditions in maize mono, bi, and triculture.

Soil Microbial Biomass Carbon

This research aimed to study the soil microbial biomass carbon (SMBC) under maize plant after a long-term application of nitrogen fertilizer and tillage systems (at the 37th growing season). The treatments were arranged in a factorial (3x3) in a randomized completely block design with 3 replications. The first factor was tillage systems, namely intensive tillage (IT) system, minimum tillage (MT) system, and no tillage (NT) system, and the second factor was the long-term application of nitrogen fertilizer, namely 0, 100, and 200 kg N ha-1. Data were analyzed using an orthogonal contrast test and a correlation test between SMBC and organic-C, total-N, and pH of the soil. The results showed that, in the rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere of maize plant, MT system increased the SMBC compared to NT and IT systems. However, application of long-term application of nitrogen fertilizer did not increase the SMBC. Nevertheless, fertilizer application of 100 kg N ha-1 increased the SMBC compare to 200 kg N ha-1.Furthermore, the combination of MT system and 100 kg N ha-1 could increase the SMBC compared to the other combined treatment between tillage systems and N fertilization doses. The SMBC was higher in the rhizosphere than in non-rhizosphere of maize plant.Keywords: Non-rhizosphere, rhizosphere, soil microbial biomass carbon, tillage systems

This study investigated long-term fertilisation effects on soil microbiological characteristics of hydromorphic paddy soils. The study was conducted in 30-year-old experimental plots with various treatments involving chemical fertiliser (nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium) alone or in combination with manure in relation to a control in a rice–rice–fallow system at the farm at Jiangxi Academy of Agricultural Science. The soil microbial biomass carbon (SMBC) and nitrogen (SMBN), microbial enzyme activity, and microbial community structure were analysed. Changes in levels of SMBC and SMBN in response to combinations of organic–inorganic fertilisers were significantly higher than for inorganic fertiliser treatment. Furthermore, activities of microbial enzymes (sucrase, urease, proteinase, acid phosphatase, and catalase) were significantly higher in combined than in inorganic fertiliser and control treatments. Additionally, the richness and evenness of soil bacteria were decreased by long-term fertilisation, especially inorganic, whereas the Shannon–Weiner and richness indexes of soil fungi were higher. Long-term fertilisation with high doses of combined organic–inorganic input significantly increased microbial biomass, enzyme activity, and fungal community diversity. However, the same input decreased bacterial community diversity. This study will be useful for improving fertilisation management in hydromorphic paddy soils.
