Co-incorporation of Chinese milk vetch and chemical fertilizers ameliorates chlorophyll content, nitrogen uptake and soil property favouring rice quality.

ABSTRACT: The objective of this study was to assess the impact of the time and rate of co-incorporation of Chinese milk vetch (CMV) with chemical fertilizers on rice quality and associated factors in South China. Here, a pot experiment with an orthogonal design L₉ (3³) was conducted to study the effect of the co-incorporation practices on rice quality, leaf chlorophyll, nutrient uptake and soil property. Results showed that co-incorporation of CMV (5288 kg dry CMV ha^- 1) with chemical fertilizers (108 kg nitrogen (N) ha^- 1, 23 kg phosphorus (P) ha^- 1, and 89 kg potassium (K) ha^- 1) on 7 day before the early rice transplanting (T₄) increased methionine and lysine contents by 29.2% and 46.4%, and increased starch and amylopec
