tilizers (T

vermicompost treatment (T

) followed by 0.12% with FYM (T

), 0.10%
with poultry manure (T

), 0.08% with green manuring of sunhemp and
only 0.02% with inorganic fertilizers (T

). These observations warranted
that increase in organic carbon content in soil in other words, carbon se-
questration operates in cyclic manner. Such cycles differ from one produc-
tion system to another production system and from one soil type to another
soil type.
