Implication

Randomized trial compares carbon-based and slow-release fertilizers' impact on wheat yield, indicating improved soil quality and nutrient availability.

Key Points

The aim is to compare the effects of carbon-based fertilizers and slow-release fertilizers on wheat yield and soil health.
Two types of carbon-based fertilizers and different conventional fertilizers were applied in wheat fields.
Soil nitrate-N dynamics, physicochemical properties, and microbial community were analyzed.
Grain yield and soil quality indicators were measured post-fertilization.
CBF2 increased grain yield by 6.77% compared to conventional urea, with enhanced soil nitrate levels observed.
Carbon-based fertilizers improved soil pH, electrical conductivity, and bacterial diversity, reducing nitrification risk.
Both CBF2 and polymer-coated urea optimized nutrient supply, but CBF2 was more effective in enhancing soil properties.
