Abstract
Rapid population growth and ever-increasing food demand have compelled land transformation for crop production, especially in humid tropical regions. Most of the agricultural practices in this region greatly rely on the soil organic matter (SOM) content. Among those practices, tillage and residue management are most common throughout the region. Nematode composition and diversity provide essential information on SOM decomposition status and nutrient cycling in soil. To highlight the impacts of these two management practices on nematodes in tropical agricultural soils, relevant peer-reviewed literature of the past 17 years (until 2017) was searched and compiled. This review revealed that intense application of those agricultural practices changes the composition of nematodes without essentially reducing the trophic groups. Short-term residue management surpassed the impacts of tillage operation, while no residue management changes the population dynamics of nematodes. Quality and placement of residues significantly affect nematode abundance as well as diversity. Residues with a high C:N ratio showed higher fungivore abundance, and buried residue application showed higher bacterivore abundance. Tillage intensity rapidly depletes both organic matter (OM) and water in soil, and detrimental to soil aggregate stability and nematode diversity. Therefore, zero tillage has been suggested for the recovery of soil microfauna. Future research can focus on restoring a disturbed soil ecosystem faster with appropriate residue management.
