The team found that crop rotation decreased the level of soil water-extractable organic matter in rainfed potato fields except when there was external input from manure compost. However, irrigation increased the level of water-extractable organic matter in management practices related to disease suppression, soil conservation, and soil improvement. The nature of this labile organic matter pool of potato soils was mainly decomposed and humified organic components whereas there were plant residues or compost incorporation in all treatments.
