Decomposition as Influenced by Tillage Practice, Type *qid 

 Amount of Residue and Fertilizer Treatment Combinations . 

 To learn (1) rate of microbial decomposition of organic 

 material in soil as influenced by tillage practices; (2) 

 influence of different types and amounts of residues and 

 different amounts of fertilizer on rate of decomposition 

 of organic matter and the improvement of soil structures; 

 (3) influence of tillage and other cultural practices on 

 N transformations in the soil.
