“…This was likely due to the higher organic inputs from the mill-mud as shown by the significant and positive correlations between enzyme activities and soil total C and N as well as soil HWEOC and HWETN contents. Phalke et al (2016) showed that soil organic C content had a significant correlation with soil β-glucosidase activity after organic amendment of a soybean-maize cropping system. In addition, it has been reported that the increase in soil enzyme activities can be related to decreased soil bulk density (Kaiser and Heinemeyer 1993).…”

Context. Compaction removal and organic amendment application are commonly used to mitigate the compaction-induced declines in crop yield, soil carbon (C) and soil health. However, the response of microbial activities and nutrient pools to the combination of mill-mud amendments and decompaction in the soil profile are not fully understood. Aims. A field trial was conducted at Burdekin, Australia, to investigate the effects of different decompaction managements on soil nutrient cycling, associated biological activities and sugarcane yield. Methods. This experiment included four treatments: control (CK, without mill-mud), mill-mud shallow furrow (MS), deep trenching without mill-mud (DT) and deep trenching mill-mud application (MD). Key results.The MD treatment increased concentrations of hot water extractable organic C by 30-70% and hot water extractable total nitrogen (N) by 30-90% at the application depth. Soil microbial biomass C and N were also higher in mill-mud applied layers. Mill-mud applied treatments increased plant cane yield by 7% (MS treatment) and 14% (MD treatment) compared to CK. The DT treatment also increased plant cane yield by 11% compared to CK. Conclusion. The MD treatment increased the supply of organic C and nutrients to the microbial community within the entire soil profile, enhanced nutrient cycling processes, improved soil environmental conditions and soil health for sugarcane growth and thus increased sugarcane productivity. Implications. Further research should focus on microbial community composition shifts to further explore the mechanisms responsible for soil microorganism regulation of nutrient cycling in sugarcane farming systems.

“…Legumes contribute to soil improvement by solubilizing insoluble phosphorus, enhancing the soil's physical environment, increasing microbial activity, and restoring organic matter, while also acting as effective weed suppressors (Ghosh et al, 2007). Recognizing the crucial roles of soil microorganisms and soil enzyme activities, particularly in the rhizosphere ecosystem, is vital (Naveen et al, 2023, Phalke et al, 2016. These entities play essential roles in biochemical processes such as nutrient cycling, organic matter decomposition, and the suppression of soil-borne pathogens (Li et al, 2014).…”

From the recent international summit i.e. COP-26 and save soil campaign states the need of soil microbial fauna in the ecosystem for upcoming years that bridge the soil-plant relations in the age of extremes. Further activity of microbes is based on enzymatic reactions that takes place above and below the subsoil strata that need to be evaluated in legume-maize based system to turn down the climate change in the world. Thus, keeping in mind the view of treatments with of 6 main-plots: C1N1: groundnut100% RDN-maize, C1N2: groundnut75% RDN-maize, C2N1: soybean100% RDN-maize, C2N2: soybean75% RDN-maize, C3N1: greengram100% RDN-maize, C3N2: greengram75% RDN-maize and 3 sub-plots: F1:100% RDN, F2:125% RDN, F3:150% RDN at Maize Research Centre-ARI, India for 2 years. The conclusive note revealed that residues of greengram integrated with nitrogen doses added up the higher activity of bacterial count, urease, dehydrogenase, acid and alkaline phosphatases in rabi maize soils over soybean and groundnut residual retention. Besides the microbial activity when seen with 150% RDN applied multiplied the decomposition rate and availability of nutritional status compared to lesser doses. This activity was synchronous along the crop stages where highest at 60 DAS. However, interaction effect (Legume residues x Nitrogen gradient levels) was found to be non-significant in both years. This further resemblance that soil macro and microfauna have the inbuilt capabilities to recycle, reproduce the natural balance in the ecosystem within the sustainable ranges of respective localities.
