Even though green manuring is regarded as one of the promising tactics in the sustainable agricultural system, there is scanty investigate on the effects of integrating green manure with fertilizers, particularly in the red, unfertile soils. In study, influence of two green manure forms of plants (Milk vetch besides Ryegrass) along with applied fertilizers to the total microbial populations, the microbial activity, the microbial biomass, the potential predicted function in the growth, and the incorporation time periods were evaluated. The fertilizer management strategies that were taken into consideration in this study include the organic manure, humic acid, and mineral fertilizers. The results indicated that integrating green manure with organic fertilizers enhanced the bacterial community’s ?-diversity while the fungal community diversity was suppressed. Observations were made showing that green manure affected the growth and incorporation periods of the varying microbial populations that were found in the soil whereby taxa such as sulfur, nitrogen and carbon group were affected. Thus, this study shows the utilization of varieties of green manure plants integrated with fertilizers on the boost of infertile red soil’s microorganisms, and the fertilization process.

International students are more likely to experience mental health issues and increased stress. Mental health is often surrounded by negative societal stigmas that act as barriers to seeking support and tend to lead to greater mental health concerns. International students tend to seek socioemotional support from other international student peers rather than seeking out counseling services. However, this study shows that LGBTQIA+ international students were less likely to seek socioemotional support from other international student peers due to fear of their sexual orientation being discovered and their families finding out about their identity. This study examines how LGBTQIA+ international students talk about their experiences on and off campus in relations to their socioemotional well-being. Specifically, this study sought to better understand the complexities of LGBTQIA+ students’ identities, and the challenges they faced in terms of their socioemotional well-being. Implications for practice and future research are discussed.
