“…1.61 1.65 [192] It has been shown that supplying plant residues, e.g., CCs, improves soil structure [219]. It depends not only on the total organic C content, but is a function of many factors, including the chemical composition of the organic matter and the applied management system [223].…”

“…Six treatments were randomly applied to plots within blocks: (1) an unamended control; (2) cover crops (CC); (3) poultry litter compost (PL); (4) poultry litter compost and cover crop (PL + CC); (5) synthetic fertilizer (NPK); and (6) fertilizer and cover crop (NPK + CC). Poultry litter compost was applied on an N-rate basis, and chemical fertilizers consisting of synthetic compounds were applied at established rates recommended by the University of Kentucky's Cooperative Extension Service [2,26]. Poultry litter compost was applied at a rate of 1.78 Mg•ha − 1 in Spring 2016 when the summer crop was soybean and 26.3 Mg•ha − 1 in Spring 2017 when the summer crop was maize.…”

“…ere are numerous benefits derived from using cover crops, including protecting the soil from erosion [3,4], enhancing soil mineralization [2,5], suppressing weeds and soilborne diseases [6], more efficient nutrient cycling [7], and improving soil quality and yield [8,9]. From a microbial perspective, cover crops improve soil aeration, increase water holding capacity, provide available carbon (C), and enhance soil microbial growth and activity [10].…”

“…Prior research in Kentucky showed that conservation practices enhanced PMN in both years of ongoing soybean [ Glycine max (L.) Merr. ]–maize rotations (Sarr et al., 2019), but not until the second year in maize were significant yield differences between treatments observed.…”
