This laboratory study aims to investigate the effect of two different soil tillage methods, conventional and conservation tillage, on the fertility indicators of a field. Specifically, samples were collected from an olive grove, half of which was treated using conventional methods and the other half using conservation methods. A total of 48 samples were collected, 24 from each method, from different points in the field, either from the tree root or from the field aisle, and from 4 consecutive depths at each point (10, 20, 40 & 60 cm). The physicochemical indicators were measured, like pH, electrical conductivity (EC), total organic carbon (TOC) and POM & MAOM fractions, total inorganic carbon (TIC), total nitrogen (TN) and inorganic forms of nitrogen (NH4+ NO3-). During the analysis, the way in which each method affects these characteristics was compared, with the aim of highlighting the importance of soil management methods for improving the physical, chemical and biological parameters that contribute to enhancing soil health.
