Other claims from this paper (13)
- Intervention effect Humic acid alone increased wheat yields by 40.94–55.64%.
- Intervention effect Humic acid alone reduced soil electrical conductivity and total soluble salts in wheat fields.
- Intervention effect Co-application with microbial fertilizers lowered EC by up to 77.04%.
- Intervention effect Co-application with microbial fertilizers lowered TSS by up to 73.83%.
- Intervention effect Co-application with microbial fertilizers enhanced aggregate mean weight diameter by 122.50%.
- Intervention effect Co-application with microbial fertilizers raised wheat yields by 75.79%.
- Observation Soil enzyme activities were substantially enhanced in wheat soils.
- Observation Fungal diversity was substantially enhanced in wheat soils.
- Observation Bacterial diversity showed no significant change in wheat soils.
- Intervention effect Application of HA with microbial fertilizers enriched microbial network modules linked to nutrient provisioning, aggregate stability and enzyme activity.
- Intervention effect Application of HA with microbial fertilizers suppressed microbial network modules associated with salinity tolerance.
- Observation Keystone species Lysobacter and Massilia were significantly enriched and closely associated with soil chemical and aggregate improvements.
- Mechanism Yield gains were mainly explained by reduced salinity and enhanced aggregate stability rather than nutrient provisioning.
