Contribution of soil organisms to the sustainability and productivity cropping systems in the tropics por Sanginga, N., Mulongoy, K., Swift, M.

“…A favourable environment for biological activity is promoted by management practices which: (1) maintain continuous vegetational cover of the soil and extensive perennial root growth; (2) encourage the return of plant litter to the soil; (3) support a diversity of plants (preferably and including legumes) and thence of litter inputs; (4) minimize soil disturbance (e.g. by tillage). It is concluded that although the importance of biological processes for soil fertility conservation is increasingly recognise…”
