Long-Term Fertilization Effect on Agronomic Yield and Soil Organic Carbon under Semi-Arid Mediterranean Region

Ibrahim Ortas & Rattan Lal · Journal of Experimental Agriculture International · 2014

Management practices, including use of organic and inorganic fertilizers, significantly affect soil organic carbon (SOC) pool and agronomic yield. Crop yields in semi-arid regions of Turkey are declining because of depletion of SOC pool and the attendant decline in soil quality....

Active Soil Organic Carbon Fractions and Aggregate Stability Effected by Minimum Tillage and Crop Rotations on a Marginal Dryland Soil in Punjab, Pakistan

Asma Hassan, Shahzada Sohail Ijaz, Rattan Lal, Safdar Ali, Muhammad Ansar, Qaiser Hussain & Muhammad Sharif Bloch · International Journal of Plant & Soil Science · 2014

Conservation Agriculture (CA) is an important technique for enhancing soil organic carbon (SOC) content in the surface layer and improving structural stability. CA is not widely practiced in dryland soils of developing countries where marginal farming practices are extensively us...
