Changes of Soil Biological Properties as Affected by Crop Rotation of Rye and Hairy Vetch in Welsh Onion and Red Pepper Cultivation

The study was conducted to evaluate the effects of welsh onion or red pepper plants grown under organically managed plots (OF) rotating rye or/and hairy vetch vs conventionally managed plot (CF) on soil biological properties. Fruit marketable yield of the onion or red pepper was higher for CF compar...

Summary:The study was conducted to evaluate the effects of welsh onion or red pepper plants grown under organically managed plots (OF) rotating rye or/and hairy vetch vs conventionally managed plot (CF) on soil biological properties. Fruit marketable yield of the onion or red pepper was higher for CF compared to OF due to the higher occurrence of disease and insect observed in OF. However, there were not significantly different fruit yield between the both CF and OF plots. OF plots had approximately 10 to 40 times higher microbial biomass and two times higher diversity of faunula and number of faunula in soil compared to the CF plots, which were, especially, higher for OF-pepper plots rotating hairy vetch. However, the soil biological properties were not significantly different between the CF- and OF-welsh onion plots.
