Responses of Soil Carbon Pools, Enzymatic Activity, and Crop Yields to Nitrogen and Straw Incorporation in a Rice-Wheat Cropping System in North-Western India

Fertilizer-N application and straw incorporation impacts crop productivity due to changes in total organic carbon (TOC), its labile pools and the soil enzymatic activity. A field experiment was established (in 2010) to study the effect of fertilizer-N application (0, 90, 120, and 150 kg N ha−1) and...
