biostudies-literatureUnknown16Wang M<h4>Purpose</h4>This study examined the effects and underlying mechanisms of combining pig manure composts, produced by different fermentation methods, with chemical fertilizers on winter wheat yield, nutrient uptake, light-thermal physiology, soil fertility, and microbial communities.<h4>Methods</h4>Field experiment was conducted in Yuanyang County, Henan Province (2023-2024) with the following treatments: no fertilizer (CK), chemical fertilizer (TK), combined organic-inorganic applications with 25:75 and 50:50 ratios. The 25:75 treatments included natural compost (TA1), water-controlled trough compost (TA2), acid-controlled trough compost (TA3), and trough compost (TA4) combined with chemical fertilizer; the 50:50 treatments included the same four compost types (TB1-TB4).
