Effects of residue management on earthworm cast production after Chromolaena odorata short fallow in the humid tropics
We aimed to quantify the relative impact of slashing, mulching, burning and cropping on surface casting by earthworms and whether effects were due to treatments per-se or to the changes in soil temperature and water content they may induce. Surface cast production was monitored during two maize crop...
