TAILIEUCHUNG - Short-term effect of conservation tillage on carbon pools under rainfed cropping systems of Central India

Short-term (after 3 crop cycle) field experiment was conducted to assess the effect of three tillage systems no tillage (NT), reduced tillage (RT) and conventional tillage (CT) and four crop rotations were selected, soybean + P. pea (S + PP, 2:1), soybean- wheat (S-W), maize + P. pea (M + PP, 1:1) and maize- gram (M - G) with their residue management (residue retained vs. burnt) on soil organic carbon fractions were study in a black soils (Vertisols) of Central India. Change in soil organic fractions influence in soil quality, health and carbon sequestration. Pools of soil organic matter (SOM) fractions (4 fractions) of carbon, very labile (VL), labile (L), less labile (LL) and non-labile (NL) return the status and composition of soil organic carbon at different (0-5, 5-15, 15-30 and 30-45 cm) depths and have implications for the change and retention of SOC. Our aims of study to determine how three tillage practices and four cropping systems (CS) with residue management, affected soil organic carbon after third crop cycle. | Short-term effect of conservation tillage on carbon pools under rainfed cropping systems of Central India
