Growing cover crops is one of the best practices for improving organic matter levels and, hence, soil quality. The main benefit of growing cover crops is that it adds plant material to the soil for organic matter replenishment.
A range of crops can be used as vegetative cover, e.g. grains, legumes and oil crops. All have the potential to provide great benefit to the soil.
If crop residue is managed well, it can add soil organic matter, which improves the quality of the seedbed and increases the water infiltration and retention capacity of the soil, buffers the pH and facilitates the availability of nutrients.
Any application of animal manure, slurry or other carbon-rich wastes, such as coffee-berry pulp, improves the organic matter content of the soil
Composting is a technology for recycling organic materials in order to achieve enhanced agricultural production. Compost application can increase soil organic matter levels over time.
Burning affects organic matter recycling significantly. Fire destroys almost all organic materials on the land surface except for tree trunks and large branches. Avoid from burning crop residue to increase soil organic matter.
we can increase organic matter in the soil without using chemical by adding FYM and green manuring in the field
Adding decomposed farm yard manures
Adding soil microbial cultures
pour améliorer le niveau des complexes argilo-humiques dans le sol, il faut utiliser plus de composte et des déchets organiques.
Use of organic soil amendments and doing sustainable agriculture can build up soil organic matter with a slow pace in unit time.
we can used compost and green manure for increase organic matter in soil
