Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect Organic fertilizer improved soil organic matter and nutrients.
- Intervention effect Organic fertilizer raised faba bean grain yield by 75.07–92.79% relative to NPK.
- Intervention effect MNPK gave the highest urease and neutral protease activity.
- Observation Acid and alkaline protease activities responded inconsistently to fertilization.
- Intervention effect Organic inputs stimulated acid, neutral and alkaline phosphatases.
- Intervention effect N fixation and assimilatory nitrate reduction genes increased under M and MNPK.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen treatment enriched several other nitrogen cycling genes.
- Intervention effect NPK, M and MNPK upregulated phosphate uptake and transport genes.
- Intervention effect Inorganic phosphorus solubilization genes were highest under nitrogen treatment.
- Association Soil enzyme activities and nutrient contents correlated positively with faba bean yield.
- Association Acid and alkaline protease activities showed opposite correlation trends.
- Association Nitrogen and phosphorus cycling genes had distinct coordinated relationships with fertility indicators and enzymes.
