“…Sariyildiz and Anderson (2003) reported that the decomposition of organic amendment were initially rapid and then plateued. Due to abundance of rice residue and favourable atmospheric condition, increase in microbial population due to increase in amount of applied root residue in soil was observed by Sameni and Pour (2001). The significance of increasing temperature and decreasing relative humidity of air, resulting in decline of fungal population during summer months has also been earlier reported by Khanna (1964) and Cruz et al (2002).…”

The colonization pattern and extent of decay produced in paddy stubble by soil inhabiting mycoflora were done by using nylon net bag technique. Among the three methods used for isolation of fungi, dilution plate technique recorded the highest number of fungi followed by damp chamber and direct observation method. Nutrient availability and climatic conditions (temperature, humidity and rainfall) influenced the occurrence and colonization pattern of fungi. Maximum fungal population was recorded in October (48.99 × 104/g dry litter) and minimum in May (11.41 × 104/g dry litter). Distribution of Deuteromycetous fungi was more in comparison to Zygomycetes, oomycetes and ascomycetes. In the early stage of decomposition Mucor racemosus, Rhizopus nigricans, Chaetomium globosum and Gliocladium species were found primarly whereas at later stages of decomposition preponderance of Aspergillus candidus, Torula graminis, Cladosporiun cladosporioides and Aspergillus luchuensis was recorded.

“…Chemical composition, low nitrogen content, and probably, higher percentage of microbially-resistant compounds such as lignin, has made liquorice root refuse, not to be as effective as alfalfa and even wheat straw (5). However, the addition of root refuse of liquorice can increase the microbial activity and population of the soil and, consequently improving the properties of chemically degraded soils.…”

Population increase and increasing demand for food have extended agriculture to troublesome lands with low organic matter. Incorporation of organic residues and build up of soil organic matter is a practical way to improve the undesirable properties of such lands. Root refuse of liquorice is added to soils as a soil amendment in some parts of Iran, but its effects on soil chemistry and fertility has not been studied yet. The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of root refuse of liquorice on some of the soil chemical properties (e.g., pH and EC), and fertility indices such as nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), copper (Cu), and zinc (Zn) concentrations. To 6 samples of surface soils (0 -15) cm of southern Iran, equivalent rates of 0, 10, 20, and 30 tons ha 21 of root refuse of liquorice were added, and the samples were incubated under room temperature and moisture content of field capacity for 50 days. At the end of 3277 ORDER REPRINTS incubation time, pH and EC as well as the total-N, extractable-P, Zn, Mn, Fe, and Cu were determined. Application of root refuse of liquorice, especially at higher rates, resulted in (1) increases in the pH and decreases in the EC, (2) no significant changes in the total-N but decreases in the extractable-P, and (3) increases in the extractable Cu, Mn, and Fe, and decrease in Zn of the tested soils.
