The aim of this work was to study the long-term effects (>12 years) of different tillage practices on aggregate stability (WSA). The experimental design was split plot with 4 randomized blocks where the main plot was tillage and the subplot was the rotation. Three different tillage systems were compared: no tillage (NT), minimum tillage (MT), and conventional tillage (CT). Samples were taken after tillage in two consecutive years from the 0-7.5 cm and 7.5-15 cm depths and SOC, C-POM contents and WSA were measured. Results showed that soil water content (SWC) on sampling date had a great influence on the aggregate stability measurement. SOC, C-POM and WSA values were higher for the surface 0-7.5 cm compared to the deeper layer (7.5-15 cm). Regarding the tillage practices, under NT higher values of SOC, C-POM and WSA were obtained compared to MT and CT. No tillage increased SOC and C-POM contents in the soil surface and this may have promoted aggregate stability. | |
