Effect of incorporation of crop residues on a maize-groundnut sequence in the humid tropics. II. soil physical and chemical properties

A two-year study (1997-1999) was conducted on a sandy clay loam (Typic Paleudult) at the experimental farm of the Universiti Putra to determine the effects of application of crop residues on changes of some soil properties in a maize (Zea mays L.)-groundnut (Arachis hypogaea) crop rotation system. F...
