“…Furthermore, organic fertilizer is one of the most efficient critical elements of organic and sustainable agricultural development (Hou et al, 2023;Salam, Sarker, & Sharmin, 2021;Yue et al, 2022). It plays an essential role in better production and is an alternative source of essential phytonutrients.…”

Agricultural insurance is a risk-sharing business arrangement to protect farmers who encounter problems with adverse selection and moral hazards caused by asymmetric information. This situation leads to market inefficiencies since people with more information commonly take advantage of less informed people. This study aimed to compare the performance difference in the economic efficiency of rice farming between Rice Farming Insurance (RFI) participants and non-participant farmers. Primary data were collected from 202 farmers in Tangerang Regency. The marginal value product–marginal factor cost (MVP-MFC) approach was utilized to estimate resource use efficiency in rice production. The t-test was applied to determine differences in input allocation. The MVP-MFC discovered that the use of seeds was efficient for RFI participant farmers. Meanwhile, land, organic fertilizer, and pesticide had not been efficient, and inputs of inorganic fertilizer and labor were inefficient. Conversly, non-participant farmers indicated that the use of land, seeds, organic fertilizers, and pesticides had not been efficient, but the use of inorganic fertilizers and labor was inefficient. However, the comparison test revealed no difference in the input allocation efficiency between RFI participants and non-participant farmers. Hence, innovation in media and extension methods were required to change farmers’ behavior. Government policies were also necessary to ensure the availability of inputs. In addition, avoiding adverse selection and moral hazards in agricultural insurance was required to identify hazardous groups.

“…Subsequently, it can be turned over into the soil as a source of plant-derived organic carbon to decompose and release nutrients (Dabney et al, 2001;Mbuthia et al, 2015). The increased quantity of easily decomposable organic matter gradually stimulates the activity of hydrolytic enzymes (Xu et al, 2021;Zhou et al, 2021a), affecting the community structure of bacteria (Zhou et al, 2021b) and fungi (Zhou et al, 2021c), altering the composition and turnover of SOC (Gao et al, 2018;Li et al, 2024), achieving SOC sequestration (Zhang et al, 2019;Yue et al, 2023) and ultimately improving soil structure (Blesh, 2018;Thapa et al, 2022). Although many studies have clari ed the changes in SOC turnover and microbial community under the green manure system, there are several knowledge gaps regarding how these microbial communities interact and the relationships between different communities and SOC turnover from a macro-ecological perspective (Bastida et al, 2021).…”

Background and Aims Green manure and commercial organic fertilizer are widely used in agricultural production to improve farmland soil carbon reserves; however, their combined impact on soil organic carbon (SOC) turnover is not yet fully understood. Methods We designed a potted wheat-soybean green manure system to investigate the impact of different fertilization treatments on SOC content and structure, extracellular enzyme activity community characteristics of fungi and bacteria after wheat harvest in 2021 and 2022. Results The results indicated that compared to chemical fertilization (CF), following the addition of soybean green manure, organic fertilization (OF) led to a 12.5% increase in SOC content, 19.3% increase in the highly active organic carbon (HAOC) fraction and 10.2% increase in the recalcitrant organic carbon (ROC) fraction. Additionally, there was a 16.1% increase in the alkyl-C to O-alkyl-C ratio and a 63.4% decrease in aliphatic C to aromatic C ratio. Significant increases were observed in the contents of extracellular enzyme, soil total nitrogen, alkali-hydrolyzable nitrogen, available phosphorus, available potassium, microbial carbon and microbial nitrogen. The abundance of observed species of fungi and bacteria significantly decreased in OF compared with that in CF, with the symbiotic network indicating a higher level of positive interaction between fungi and bacteria in OF. Conclusion OF primarily altered soil enzyme activity by influencing soil nutrient contents, resulting in the decomposition of labile organic carbon and an increase in microbial residue biomass, without affecting ROC formation or humification degree. These findings can maximise SOC content in organic agriculture through land use and fertilization techniques.

“…Additionally, China has proposed an industrial mechanism called “green manure +” to promote ecological restoration technology and industrial application based on green manure. Green-manure-based rotations have been shown to be an effective sustainable agriculture practice [ 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 ]. However, green manure crops that are planted can be exploited by pests, which can prolong the occurrence duration and number of pests, resulting in unexpected pest outbreaks [ 16 ].…”

The application of green manure is crucial for achieving sustainable agriculture and animal husbandry, but pest management is often overlooked. Conducting a risk assessment for insect pests in green manure is essential. The beet webworm, Loxostege sticticalis, a polyphagous insect, is currently experiencing an outbreak in northern China, and represents a significant migratory pest. A two-sex life table and flight mill test approach was used to comprehensively evaluate the effects of three major legume green manure crops (Pisum sativam, Vicia sativa, and Vicia villosa) on the growth, development, fecundity, and flight ability of L. sticticalis in China. Our findings indicate that L. sticticalis cannot utilize V. villosa for generational development. L. sticticalis shows reduced performance on P. sativam and V. sativa compared to its suitable host Chenopodium album. However, both the population parameters (R0, r, λ, and T) and the population prediction results suggest that L. sticticalis can adapt to P. sativam and V. sativa. In the process of promoting green manure, careful consideration should be given to the selection of appropriate green manure varieties and the implementation of effective pest control measures during their planting. Our findings lay the groundwork for the promotion of green manure and implementation of an ecological management plan for L. sticticalis.
