Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Both frass types significantly increased shoot dry weight of bell pepper under both water supply conditions compared with the control.
- Intervention effect Vegetable-derived frass produced greater shoot dry weight than manure-derived frass under well-watered conditions.
- Intervention effect There was no significant difference in shoot dry weight between vegetable- and manure-derived frass under water-stressed conditions.
- Intervention effect Biochar significantly increased shoot dry weight and shoot N content compared with no biochar.
- Intervention effect Frass increased shoot N content of bell pepper.
- Intervention effect Frass increased soil NH4+-N, NO3--N and dissolved organic carbon.
- Intervention effect Water stress decreased microbial biomass nitrogen.
- Intervention effect Co-applying biochar with manure-derived frass increased soil pH compared with frass alone.
- Intervention effect Under water-stressed conditions, combining frass with biochar enriched the relative abundance of the bacterial genera Porphyrobacter and Sphingomonas.
- Recommendation Integrating frass and biochar is a potential sustainable soil management strategy to enhance crop production under varying water conditions.
