• Integrating microbial functional traits to evaluate responses of soil quality to organic amendments in newly reclaimed farmland (2026) · Plant and Soil · doi

  Further studies are needed to evaluate the long-term effects of organic amendments on soil quality and microbial functional traits. The development of more comprehensive soil quality assessment indices that integrate multiple factors, including microbial functional traits, is needed. Research on the application of the novel soil quality assessment index in different agricultural contexts is necessary.

• Application of Trichoderma viride immobilized on rice husk under reduced synthetic fertilization in yellow chili pepper (Capsicum baccatum L.) var. pendulum (2026) · Frontiers in Agronomy · doi

  Further studies are needed to assess the long-term effects of the application of the organic amendment on crop productivity and soil health. The study of the economic and environmental impacts of the intensive use of synthetic fertilizers should be continued. The evaluation of the effect of different doses of the organic amendment on crop variables should be conducted.
