Managing soil fertility in organic farming systems
Abstract
Complex relationships exist between different components of the organic farm and the quantity and quality of the end products depend on the functioning of the whole system.As such, it is very difficult to isolate soil fertility from production and environmental aspects of the system.Crop rotation is the central tool that integrates the maintenance and development of soil fertility with different aspects of crop and livestock production in organic systems.Nutrient supply to crops depends on the use of legumes to add nitrogen to the system and limited inputs of supplementary nutrients, added in acceptable forms.Manures and crop residues are carefully managed to recycle nutrients around the farm.Management of soil organic matter, primarily through the use of short-term leys, helps ensure good soil structure and biological activity, important for nutrient supply, health and productivity of both crops and livestock.Carefully planned diverse rotations help reduce the incidence of pests and diseases and allow for cultural methods of weed control.As a result of the Archived at http://orgprints.org/8060 complex interactions between different system components, fertility management in organic farming relies on a long-term integrated approach rather than the more shortterm very targeted solutions common in conventional agriculture.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
