“…The research about mulch application reveals that its efficiency depends on both the residue quality and its management (Gangwar et al, 2006). If the residue is applied to the surface as mulch, the improvement of the soil physical properties and the increase of soil organic carbon (SOC) occur over time.…”

Abstract. The high erosion rates found in the agriculture land make valuable the use of mulches to control the soil and water losses. Coffee husk (Coffea canephora var. robusta) can be one of those mulches. This paper evaluates how to apply the mulch in order to obtain the best effectiveness. An experimental factorial design 4 × 3 × 2 with two replicates was designed in a greenhouse with a total number of 48 cases. All the samples were deposited in trays of 0.51 m 2 and applied a simulated rain of 122 mm h −1 during 21 min. The factors examined were the following: four soil classes; three treatments -buried (B), surface (S) and non-residue (C) -and the presence (WC) or absence (WOC) of the soil surface crusting. The coffee husk residue (S and B treatments) reduced runoff by 10.2 and 46 % respectively, soil losses by 78.3 and 88.7 % and sediment concentration by 77 and 84.4 %. The infiltration rate increased on average by 104 and 167 %, and time to runoff by 1.58 and 2.07 min respectively. Coffee husk is an efficient mulch to reduce the soil and water losses, although it could not completely cushion the influence of crust.

“…It reduce soil bulk density (Gangwar et al, 2006), N leaching (Sainju et al, 2006), pH and CO 2 emission (Wang and Dalal, 2006). Improvement in soil organic C (Dolan et al, 2006), N enrichment (Habtegebrial et al, 2007), and slow release of nutrient upon gradual organic matter decomposition have all been observed for MT.…”

“…Mineralization of organic residue increases available moisture (Kravchenko and Thelen, 2007), soil porosity, water holding capacity and infiltration rate (Gangwar et al, 2006), total and labile C (Blair et al, 2006a, b). It minimizes bulk density (Wong et al, 1999;Kravchenko and Thelen, 2007), decrease soil temperature (Kravchenko and Thelen, 2007), and results in increased essential plant nutrients (Kravchenko and Thelen, 2007).…”

, 2015. An integrated approach using organic amendments under a range of tillage practices to improve wheat productivity in a cereal based cropping system. AbstractField studies were conducted over two years with the objectives to improve soil fertility and minimize the use of commercial fertilizer. It was comprised of three tillage practices included minimum (MT), conventional (CT) and deep (DT) and twelve nitrogen sources treatments including farm yard manure (FYM) (10 or 20 tons ha ) application improved soil fertility, crop productivity, and grain protein. Mixed application of FYM and urea increased total N uptake by plants and yield efficiency in term of harvest index was better for SR+UN treatment. Value cost ratio was higher for sole FYM, whereas relative increase in income was higher for FYM+UN. Thus using a mixture of FYM and UN under minimum tillage might be an optimum agronomic practice for improved productivity, soil fertility and economical disposition of waste material. Further studies are suggested to quantify the form of N uptake by plants for better and sustainable N management practices in cereal base (wheat-maize) cropping system.
