“…Accumulation of soil organic matter at the soil surface was a result of surface placement of crop residues and a lack of soil disturbance that kept residues isolated from the rest of the soil profile. Decomposition of surfaceplaced residues is often slower than when incorporated in the soil profile [32,33], primarily because of less optimal moisture conditions [34]. The apparent soil organic matter accumulation in stubble retention treatments noted by these results is consistent with the findings of Lao et al [35] and Lin et al [36].…”

The combination of continuous cereal cropping, tillage and stubble removal reduces soil fertility and increases soil erosion on sloping land. The objective of the present study was to assessment soil fertility changes under stubble removal and stubble retention in the Loess Plateau where soil is prone to severe erosion. It was indicated that soil N increased a lot for and two stubble retention treatments had the higher N balance at the end of two rotations. Soil K balance performed that soil K was in deficient for all treatments and two stubble retention treatments had lower deficit K. The treatments with stubble retention produced higher grain yields than the stubble removal treatments. It was concluded that stubble retention should be conducted to increase crops productivity, improve soil fertility as well as agriculture sustainability in the Loess plateau, China.

“…Therefore, DOC contents in the entire soil profile decreased with increasing soil depth. These results are consistent with previous reports in which the retaining time and effectiveness of SOC were verified to be prolonged and lowered with increasing soil depth (Ghidey and Alberts, 1993;Kalbitz, 2001;Kalbitz and Geyer, 2002). DOC contents in the soil profiles along the grassy slope all decreased with increasing soil depth, and the average DOC contents in the three profiles increase in the following order: back-slope (115.7 mg·kg -1 ) < mid-slope (148.2 mg·kg -1 ) < foot-slope (195.7 mg·kg -1 ).…”

“…The plausible reason could be sampling time of last week of April chosen in the present study, while the annual rice-wheat cropping cycle ends in October and thus a large proportion of residues will decompose during rice season from June to October. The straw decomposition rates are generally slower for surface placed compared with incorporated residues (Ghidey and Alberts 1993;Beare et al 2002), therefore it has proved more efficient in C sequestration.…”

Development of a sustainable and environment friendly crop production system depends on identifying effective strategies for the management of tillage and postharvest crop residues. Three-year (2004Three-year ( -2007 field study was initiated on two soil types to evaluate the effect of straw management (burning, incorporation and surface mulch) and tillage (conventional tillage and zero tillage) before sowing wheat and four nitrogen rates (0, 90, 120 and 150 kg N ha -1 ) on crop yields, N use efficiency, and soil fertility in the northwestern India. Effect of tillage and straw management on nitrogen transformation in soils was investigated in a laboratory incubation study. In sandy loam, grain yield of wheat with straw mulchzero-till (ZT) was 7% higher compared to when residues were burnt-ZT but it was similar to straw burntconventional till (CT), averaged across 3 years. In silt loam, grain yield of wheat with straw mulch-ZT was 4.4% higher compared to straw incorporated-CT, but it was similar to straw burnt-CT. Response to N application was generally observed up to 150 kg N ha -1 except in 2004-2005 on sandy loam where N response was observed up to 120 kg N ha -1 , irrespective of straw and tillage treatments. In sandy loam, RE was lower (49%) for straw burnt-ZT than in other treatments (54-56%). In silt loam, RE was higher in straw mulch-ZT compared with straw incorporation-CT (65 vs. 58%). In sandy loam, AE was higher in straw burnt-CT and straw mulch-ZT compared with the other treatments (19.2 vs. 16.9 kg grain kg -1 N applied). In silt loam, AE was lower in straw incorporation-CT than in other treatments (16.0 vs. 17.6 kg grain kg -1 N applied). Rice yield and N uptake were not influenced by straw and tillage management treatments applied to the preceding wheat. Recycling of rice residue (incorporation and surface mulch) compared with straw burning increased soil organic carbon and the availability of soil P and K. There was more carbon sequestration in rice straw mulch with zero tillage (25%) than in straw incorporation with conventional tillage (17%). Soil N mineralization at 45 days after incubation was 15-25% higher in straw retention plots compared with on straw burnt plots.
