Outline of Final Research Achievements

By controlling the soil moisture, which is said to influence the decomposition process of organic matter and the stability of the organic vegetable quality, relationship between the decomposition process of organic matter, the diversity of soil microorganisms, and quality of cultivated vegetables was clarified, and cultivation environmental factors influencing the success of organic agriculture were examined. Excess of the soil moisture content largely affected the decomposition process of organic matter by soil microorganisms, and changed aggregate structure of soil, nutritional condition, vegetable taste. On the other hand, it was also revealed that excessive soil moisture does not affect the diversity and activity of soil microorganisms, the sugar content and antioxidant components of the vegetables.
