Revolutionizing Agriculture: Spatial Variability of Soil Organic Matter Unveiled
The study aimed to understand how soil organic matter varies in cassava fields with different management practices. Researchers analyzed soil samples from plots with varying irrigation, spacing, weed control, and acidity correction methods. By using geostatistics, they found that the spatial distribution of organic matter was strongly dependent on these management factors. The data showed clear patterns in organic matter content across the field, highlighting the importance of managing soil health for crop production.
