Summary: | BACKGROUND
Phosphorus (P) is an essential mineral nutrient for crop growth and development. Much remains unknown regarding the content and distribution of P forms in different soil aggregates as affected by tillage practices. A 3‐year field experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of no‐tillage (NT), rotary tillage (RT), subsoiling (SS), and deep tillage (DT) on soil aggregate distribution pattern, aggregate‐associated P content, and to understand the conversion trend.
RESULTS
Tillage has the potential to accelerate the processes in transforming macro‐aggregates (> 0.25 mm) into micro‐aggregates ( |
