| Abstract | A field experiment was conducted on a loamy sand soil for six years to quantify the effect of soil organic matter on indigenous soil N supply and productivity of irrigated wheat in semiarid sub-tropical India. The experiment was conducted by applying different combinations of fertilizer N (0–180 kg N ha−1), P (0–39 kg P ha−1) and K (0–60 kg K ha−1) to wheat each year. For the data pooled over years, fertilizer N together with soil organic carbon (SOC) and their interaction accounted for 75% variation in wheat yield. The amount of fertilizer N required to attain a yield goal decreased as the SOC concentration increased indicating enhanced indigenous soil N supply with an increase in SOC concentration. Besides SOC concentration, the soil N supply also depended on yield goal. For a yield goal of 4 tons ha−1, each ton of SOC in the 15 cm plough layer contributed 4.75 kg N ha−1 towards indigenous soil N supply. An increase in the soil N supply with increase in SOC resulted in enhanced wheat productivity. The contribution of 1 ton SOC ha−1 to wheat productivity ranged from 15 to 33 kg ha−1 across SOC concentration ranging from 3 to 9 g kg-1 soil. The wheat productivity per ton of organic carbon declined curvilinearly as the native SOC concentration increased. The change in wheat productivity with SOC concentration shows that the effect of additional C sequestration on wheat productivity will depend on the existing SOC concentration, being higher in low SOC soils. Therefore, it will be more beneficial to sequester C in soils with low SOC than with relatively greater SOC concentration. In situations where the availability of organic resources for recycling is limited, their application may be preferred in soils with low SOC concentration. The results show that an increase in C sequestration will result in enhanced wheat productivity but the increase will depend on the amount of fertilizer applied and the existing fertility level of the soil. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
