Legume integration and manure offer promise to improve early indicators of soil health

Tested indicators offer potential to detect that: • Cropping systems and manure play a crucial role in improving soil properties and potential microbial activity • Mineral nitrogen applications have a comparatively smaller impact on soil properties and potential microbial activity compared to...

Summary:Tested indicators offer potential to detect that: • Cropping systems and manure play a crucial role in improving soil properties and potential microbial activity • Mineral nitrogen applications have a comparatively smaller impact on soil properties and potential microbial activity compared to main treatments • Legume integration provides a potential for both soil chemical properties and microbial activity • Carbon and nitrogen activity are key factors in driving critical microbial process
