Description

Yubo Sun and co-authors test soil additives paired with standard fertilizer in a maize and soybean rotation, in a 2026 study. The soil type in northeast China is tight, low in organic matter, and short on nutrients. Those traits limit crop yields. The team ran a two-year field trial to see if organic additions help.

Plots got mineral fertilizer alone or with one of three organic products. The products were based on carbon, humic acid, or biochar. The team measured soil clumping, acidity, carbon, key nutrients, and enzyme action. They also weighed yields and grain size. Combined use tended to improve soil traits over fertilizer alone. The trial ran across 2023 and 2024 on working farm land.
