Summary
The efficacy of integrating green manure in arid irrigation regions to enhance maize yield and nitrogen (N) uptake efficiency has been extensively explored. However, limited research has delineated the contribution of green manure N versus soil N on crop N utilization efficiency. This study integrated field experiments with micro-plot experiments to examine green manure (common vetch) management practices for achieving high maize yield and N uptake. In a micro-plot experiment, 15N technology was utilized to label green manure crops. Five treatments were applied in the research methodology: conventional tillage without green manure as the control (CT); tillage with total green manure incorporation (TG); no-tillage with total green manure mulching (NTG); tillage with only root incorporation
