- Organic amendments promote sustainable rice production in association with organ-specific stoichiometric traits (2026) · Plant and Soil · doi
The effects of soil amendments on crop yield via organ-specific stoichiometric traits are poorly understood. There is a need to evaluate the impact of different soil amendments on rice yield and plant growth traits.
