SHORT TERM EFFECTS OF TILLAGE-MULCH PRACTICES UNDER SORGHUM AND SOYBEAN ON ORGANIC CARBON AND EUTROPHIC STATUS OF A DEGRADED ULTISOL IN SOUTHEASTERN NIGERIA

SHORT TERM EFFECTS OF TILLAGE-MULCH PRACTICES UNDER SORGHUM AND SOYBEAN ON ORGANIC CARBON AND EUTROPHIC STATUS OF A DEGRADED ULTISOL IN SOUTHEASTERN NIGERIA

A key indicator of soil quality as organic carbon needs to be enhanced in the highly weathered soils predominant in southeastern Nigeria through appropriate tillage-mulch practices and cropping systems. We subjected a degraded Typic Paleustult (sandy loam) at Nsukka to no-till (NT) and conventional...
