Organic matter is added by spraying or crimping, so long as you’re not using tillage (which promotes oxidation (??) and loss of carbon).


When the crimper is used at the right time it helps with the C:N ratios. Different plant species crimped at different maturity levels have different C:N ratios.
quote:

Soils with a carbon-to-nitrogen (C:N) ratio of 24:1 have the optimum ratio for soil microbes to stimulate release of nutrients like N, phosphorous and zinc to crops. This ratio influences the amount of soil-protecting residue cover that remains on the soil.

Yeah, I follow that, but how does method of termination alter carbon, nitrogen or their relative ratios? That’s dependent upon the plant and timing, as you mentioned.
