Name: Litter Bag Study Description: Litter bag field experiment is conducted to understand how fast cover crop biomass gets decomposed and how much of those decomposed biomass contributes to the stable soil organic carbon pool. We used a 50 μm polyester mesh bag and added 10 gram dried chopped cover crop shoot part and then buried them in field at 7.5 cm soil depth and retrieved at least 17 times in a year.
