    Abstract

    Soil Organic Matter (SOM) management is crucial for sustainable agriculture, as it enhances soil fertility, structure, and microbial activity. SOM, composed of plant and animal residues at various decomposition stages, provides essential nutrients and improves soil health. Key management strategies include conservation tillage, cover crops, crop rotation, crop residue management, nutrient management, and organic amendments. These practices enhance soil organic carbon content, promote microbial diversity, and sustain agricultural productivity. Effective SOM management ensures nutrient cycling and soil fertility, which are essential for long-term agricultural sustainability.
