Introduction Soil vs Bank Acc. Objectives: - Evaluate long-term effects of wheat production management practices on soil acidity and some essential nutrients. -Establish whether differences in wheat grain yield occurred as a result of the applied treatments. NB: You withdraw only what you put in.

Material and methods  Treatments:  Sampling and analysis: six soil layers and analyzed for pH, P, Cu, Fe, Mn and Zn Stubble Mulch (SM) Ploughing (MP) No-tillage (NT) -Straw was burned (B) or left unburned (UnB) -Weeds were controlled chemically (Chem) or Mechanically (Mech) Plinthosol Layers (mm)

Results Soil prop. Depth (mm) Straw TillWeed Optimum values UnBBNTSMMPChemMech pH P > Cu > Fe > Mn > Zn > Weighted means of soil pH(H 2 O) and some nutrients (mg kg -1 ) to 150 mm and 250 mm soil depths inside the trial cropped annually with wheat

Currently The influence of land use on organic matter content and related components on Vertisols: Land use: -Grassland-to-cropland conversion chronosequence -Cropland-to-grassland reversion chronosequence -Grassland (reference) Parameters: 1. Organic matter content: SOC and TN stocks (Mg/ha) 2. Related components: Labile organic matter fractions, Microbial residues (Amino sugars and Glomalin), lignin, humic substances, soil enzymes and Isotopic signatures of SOM ( 13 C and 15 N)
