“…The application of crop residue to fields may be the key to promoting physical, chemical, and biological attributes of soil quality in agricultural systems in developing countries [35]. Li and Jin [36] reported that China produced 8.1ˆ10 8 t of crop straw in 2008, and this could be an important organic fertilizer resource.…”

Abstract:To determine the effects of straw incorporation on soil nutrients, enzyme activity, and aggregates in tobacco fields, we conducted experiments with different amounts of wheat and maize straw in Zhucheng area of southeast Shandong province for three years (2010)(2011)(2012). In the final year of experiment (2012), straw incorporation increased soil organic carbon (SOC) and related parameters, and improved soil enzyme activity proportionally with the amount of straw added, except for catalase when maize straw was used. And maize straw incorporation was more effective than wheat straw in the tobacco field. The percentage of aggregates >2 mm increased with straw incorporation when measured by either dry or wet sieving. The mean weight diameter (MWD) and geometric mean diameter (GMD) in straw incorporation treatments were higher than those in the no-straw control (CK). Maize straw increased soil aggregate stability more than wheat straw with the same incorporation amount. Alkaline phosphatase was significantly and negatively correlated with soil pH. Sucrase and urease were both significantly and positively correlated with soil alkali-hydrolysable N. Catalase was significantly but negatively correlated with soil extractable K (EK). The MWD and GMD by dry sieving had significantly positive correlations with SOC, total N, total K, and EK, but only significantly correlated with EK by wet sieving. Therefore, soil nutrients, metabolic enzyme activity, and aggregate stability might be increased by increasing the SOC content through the maize or wheat straw incorporation. Moreover, incorporation of maize straw at 7500 kg¨hm´2 was the best choice to enhance soil fertility in the tobacco area of Eastern China.

“…However, treatment T 4 also increased soil pH significantly than that under T 2 and the initial value. This might be due to the addition of more organic matter by rice residue and FYM/GLM in these treatments than under FP [40,41]. Many researchers have shown that, if organic residues are returned to the soil, pH can be increased due to the decarboxylation of organic anions on decomposition by microorganisms [42,43].…”

Effects of Conservation Tillage and Nutrient Management Practices on Soil Fertility and Productivity of Rice (Oryza sativa L.)–Rice System in North Eastern Region of India

Over centuries and even today, traditional farming practices are well performed without any ecological degradation. However, management practice such as conservative tillage combined with nutrient and residue could increase the crop production as well as soil fertility. A three-year replicated study was conducted to assess the effects of agronomic modification of traditional farming practices on productivity and sustainability of rice (wet season)-rice (dry season) system (RRS). The replacement of farmers practice (T 2 ) with conservation effective tillage (no-till (NT)) and integrated nutrient management (INM) practice along with 30% residue retention (T 5 ) enhanced the straw, root and biomass yield of both wet season rice (WR), dry season rice (DR) and system as a whole over T 2 . Treatment T 5 recorded significantly lower soil bulk density ( b ) and higher pH than the T 2 after three years of the experiment. Further, treatment T 5 increased total soil organic carbon (2.8%), total soil organic carbon stock (2.8%), carbon sequestration rate (336.5 kg ha −1 year −1 ), cumulative carbon stock (142.9%) and carbon retention efficiency (141.0%) over T 2 of 0-20 cm depth after three year. The soil microbial biomass carbon concentration was significantly the highest under T 5 . Similarly, the dehydrogenase activity was the maximum under T 5 . Adoption of conservation tillage and nutrient management practice involving NT and INM along with residue retention can enhance the system productivity, and C and N sequestration in paddy soils is thereby contributing to the sustainability of the RRS.

Tarla Bitkileri Merkez Araştırma Enstitüsü Dergisi, 2016, 25 (Özel sayı-1):280-291 Derleme (Rewiev) ÖzÜlkemizde tarla tarımı ağırlıklı olarak kuru tarıma dayanmakta, kuru tarım içerisinde ise tahıl yetiştiriciliği, özellikle buğday ve arpa yetiştiriciliği büyük yer tutmaktadır. Kuru tarımda yıllardan beri uygulanan kara nadasbuğday/arpa üretim sistemine bağlı olarak toprak kalitesi bozulmuş durumdadır. Bozuk toprak kalitesi, çok büyük emek, zaman ve kaynak harcanarak gerçekleştirilen araştırmalardan ve kültürel uygulamalardan beklenen yararları azaltmakta ve verime dönüşmesini sınırlandırmaktadır. Buna ilaveten, küresel iklim değişikliğine bağlı kuraklık tehdidi, bozuk toprak kalitesiyle birleştiğinde kuru tarım alanlarındaki üretim, özellikle buğday ve arpa üretimi gelecekte çok daha büyük risk altına girecektir. Bu nedenle kuru tarımda kara nadas-buğday/arpa üretim sistemi yerine baklagil-tahıl üretim sistemine geçilmeli, geleneksel toprak işleme yerine azaltılmış toprak işleme veya sıfır sürüm uygulanmalıdır. Ülkemizin farklı ekolojik koşullarına ve yetiştiricilerin ekonomik güçlerine uygun, sürdürülebilir toprak kalitesini esas alan kültürel uygulamalar belirlenmeli ve yaygınlaştırılmalıdır. AbstractThe production of field crops in Turkey is generally based on dry farming system and cereal production, especially wheat and barley production have the great amounts in dry farming. The quality of soils in dry farming are poor because of intensively tillage and application of fallow-wheat/barley production system for decades. The poor soil quality reduces beneficial impacts of crop management and researches realized by spending of huge amounts of money, time and labor, and limits turning benefits into yield. In addition, the crop production, especially wheat and barley production will be under the bigger risk in future because of interaction between the poor soil quality and the drought caused by global climate changing. Therefore, fallow-wheat/barley production system and conventional tillage should be replaced by legumes-cereal production system and minimum tillage or no-till systems in dry farming. The crop management systems based on sustainable soil quality, and to be adapted to different ecological conditions of Turkey and to economic power of farmers, should be determined and widely practiced.
