Effect of cover crop management on soil organic matter

Effect of Incorporation of Hairy Vetch and Rye Grown as Cover Crops on Weed Suppression Related with Phenolics and Nitrogen Contents of Soil

“…The TC in hairy vetchincorporated soil was slightly increased in 50 DAI whereas decreased gradually in rye-incorporated soil. Soil organic carbon in the incubation experiment decreased slightly with time (Martens, 2000), and the rye alone showed higher organic carbon contents compared with the rye/ vetch system (Ding et al, 2006). According to the previous report, the relationship between TP and TC shows positive pattern (Gallet and Keller, 1999).…”

Interrelationships Among Weed Management in Coffee Plantation and Soil Physical Quality

“…Plant residues may influence the light soil fraction and thus the organic carbon content as reported by Ding et al (2006) when these authors assessed the effect of cover crop management on chemical and structural composition of soil organic matter. The constant use of the pre-emergence herbicide for weed control in Dystroferric Red Latosol clay decreases significantly the total organic carbon content in the soil surface, because of the prevalence of soil without weed between the coffee rows.…”

Effect of INM on Soil Carbon Pools, Soil Quality and Sustainability in Rice-Brown Sarson Cropping System of Kashmir Valley

“…However, labile SOC fractions are readily accessible source of microorganisms, turn-over rapidly (weeks or months) and have an impact on plant nutrient supply. Labile SOC fractions could indicate changes in soil quality due to management practices more rapidly than measuring changes in the magnitude of total SOC (Ding et al, 2006). Some of the important labile pools of SOC currently used as indicators of soil quality are microbial biomass carbon (MBC), mineralizable organic carbon (Cmin), particulate organic carbon (POC) and KMnO 4 -oxidizable labile organic carbon (LBC).…”
