Soil resources in the world in general, and in rainfed region in
particular are at the verge of degradation because of natural
processes and anthropogenic interventions leading to low
agricultural productivity and environmental degradation. Beside
physical and chemical degradations due to soil erosion, soil
acidity, soil alkalinity, water logging, accumulation of toxic
compounds and heavy metals, organic matter and nutrient depletion,
the biological degradation and soil biodiversity decline are also
at alarming rate. The soil degradation can be reversed only by
following the restorative and conservation practices such as
minimum are zero tillage, recycling of crop residues, use of
organics, balanced fertilization, use of soil amendments, effective
soil and water conservation measures, appropriate cropping systems,
etc. This book deals with above mentioned issues and is the outcome
of the study on long term effects of tillage, crop residue
recycling and nitrogen levels on labile C pools and soil enzymes in
Sorghum-Castor system in tropics. Authors believe that the results
and experiences presented in this book will be of much interest and
use to the readers and researchers.
