Water: Add manure to the soil
A replicated, randomized, controlled study in 2009 in an abandoned wheat field in Greece found similar amounts of water in soils with or without added manure. Water availability: Similar amounts of water were found in soils with or without added manure (8–15%). Methods: Plots (1 x 1 m) had added manure (4 kg/m2) or no added manure (four plots for each). Manure was added in January and incorporated into the soil with a mattock. Soil samples (three/plot, 3–20 cm depth) were collected in March and June.

Soil: Add manure to the soil
A replicated, randomized, controlled study in 2009 in an abandoned wheat field in Greece found similar numbers of nematodes in plots with or without added manure. Soil organisms: Similar numbers of nematodes were found in soils with or without added manure (368–559 vs 308–567 individuals/100 cm3). Methods: Plots (1 x 1 m) had added manure (4 kg/m2) or no added manure (four plots for each). Manure was added in January and incorporated into the soil with a mattock. Soil samples (three/plot, 3–20 cm depth) were collected in March and June.
