“…The straw incorporation with the high amount significantly increased SOC, TN, and TK, and the available nutrients in the tillage layer compared with the low amount, or no straw in CK after three years of annual applications in this study. The similar results were also reported by many researchers [6,[37][38][39], where SOC and its related parameter levels increased greatly by the incorporation and decomposition of straw [40]. Furthermore, SOC and its related soil parameters were higher in maize straw incorporation treatment than those in wheat straw treatment with the same amount, which was consistent with other reports [41,42].…”

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.

“…Content and chemical composition of soil organic matter (SOM) are influenced by management and amendment practices (Medina et al, 2015). In general, intensive cropping with conventional soil tillage causes SOM mineralization and depletion, whereas conservative practices, such as reduced tillage, organic fertilization, and residue incorporation, increase the content and change the quality of SOM (Simonetti et al, 2012).…”

“…Composting is considered a process of biological decomposition of organic materials under controlled conditions, these conditions must guarantee an aerobic environment, and the product derived from this process is called compost [4,5]. Composting combines the activity of a wide variety of microbial population and various physical and chemical factors that are affected by different environmental conditions of humidity, temperature, and among others that influence the composting process [6,7].…”

coordinates and the total organic carbon content in compost were correlated. Two particle sizes of 0.5 and 2 mm were obtained in the compost samples; the surface color was analyzed with a CIE L * a * b * colorimeter and the total organic carbon content by spectrophotometry at 588.9 nm. e results indicate that all chromaticity values were significantly affected (p < 0.001) by particle size. Chromaticity values a * , b * , C * , and h°showed significantly strong Pearson correlations (r > 0.95). e coordinates a * (r � −0.992) and b * (r � 0.968) have the potential to be used in estimating the total organic carbon concentration in the compost samples analyzed.
