Outline of Final Research Achievements

The function of cover crop, which is a biological tool for sustainable agricultural production, was investigated from the biological properties of soil. Cover crops release nitrogen after incorporation into soil and contribute to the growth of subsequent crops. Surveys of kind and population soil nematodes have revealed that cover crop has created a bacterial-dominated environment and improved soil fertility. In nitrogen mineralization, β-glycosidase activity and soil microbial biomass, which became indicators of microbial activity, increased in bulk soil. The farming practice with cover crop and no-tillage also induced microbial variation, and aggregate size affected microbial species and organic matter degradation. In long-term practice, Rye (cover crop) and no-tillage system reduced the global warming potential. The soil properties and productivity were improved by increasing of soil carbon amount in soil.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

土壌線虫指標により、緑肥による土壌内微生物変化と肥沃性向上への関与を証明した。窒素無機化は根域土壌でのβグリコシダーゼ活性や土壌微生物バイオマス増加から始まり、窒素利用に特定微生物の役割やネットワーク形成を見出し、緑肥分解ステージや団粒サイズの影響も認めたことは新規知見である。緑肥と不耕起栽培を結合させた農法は温暖化係数の低減に寄与し、多量の土壌炭素蓄積が土壌環境と生産性を改善する実証データを提示した。
