20.500.12556/RUL-134801 Impact of sustainable land management practices on soil properties example of organic and integrated agricultural management Maintaining good soil quality is crucial for the sustainability of agriculture. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the visual soil assessment (VSA) method by testing it on two soil types and two agricultural management practices (AMP) (organic and integrated) that are considered to protect soil quality. We selected two farms with plots on two river terraces with different soil properties. The test was based on the modified method Annual Crops Visual Quality Assessment developed by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and supported by a standardized soil physical and chemical analysis. This study showed that the assessed score is highly dependent on the type of farming practice and how soils are managed. The soil type also plays an important role. The results for Calcaric Fluvisol showed that the effects of selected agricultural management practices on the visual assessment of soil quality could be almost undetectable. The time of assessment also plays a significant role in VSA scoring. Different crops and agricultural activities with significant impacts on the soil occur throughout the year (especially in vegetable production). It was observed that a higher score for the soil cover indicator had a beneficial effect on the total VSA rating. land management visual assessment soil quality agricultural management practice organic farming integrated farming kakovost tal upravljanje zemljišč vizualna ocena kmetijska praksa organsko kmetijstvo sonaravno kmetijstvo trajnostno kmetijstvo integrirana pridelava true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2022-02-02 10:28:13 2022-02-02 10:28:14 2022-09-14 04:09:59 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2021 0 0 17 str. iss. 1, art. 8 Vol. 10 2021 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 631.4 2073-445X 10.3390/land10010008 44509187 RAZ_Mihelic_Rok_2021.pdf RAZ_Mihelic_Rok_2021.pdf 1 690A76B91FBD999DE95C41E137B75E7F 1d62e6e1ff6f401fc5786c19d7f5d6c0a2da37b0e5915ab626316d8af96967f6 7e570c1f-840a-11ec-abdb-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=153453 https://www.mdpi.com/2073-445X/10/1/8 0 58140621-840a-11ec-abdb-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=153452 Biotehniška fakulteta 0 0 0
