| Abstract: |
Changes in farming practices could be an effective way to reduce carbon (CO2-C) emissions from agricultural lands thereby sequestering more carbon in the soil. A field experiment was conducted on an acidic silt loam upland soil of Khumaltar, Nepal during the dry season of 2011/2012. The study evaluated soil CO2 - C emission from a wheat field as influenced by tillage, mulch, and nitrogen (N) application. The factorial experiment laid-out on a split-split plot design consisted of three replications of 12 treatment combinations, i.e., two types of tillage (zero and conventional) on a main-plot, two levels of mulch (zero and 4 t ha-1 of rice straw) on a sub-plot and three levels of N application (zero, 100 and 150 kg ha-1) on a sub-sub plot. The crop growing season in this region is relatively longer primarily due to the effects of low temperature and high elevation (1300 masl); therefore, wheat (var. WK-1204) planted on December 6 of 2011 matured in six months (harvest date June 2 of 2012)……………….. |
