Carbon dynamics in coastal sandy soils were investigated by measuring soil respiration rate and mineralizable organic carbon under controlled condition. To improve carbon status of sandy soils under rice cultivation, organic system of nutrient management has been evaluated. Incubation study revealed that Ipomea cornea composted with poultry manure recorded lower CO2 evolution and wider C:N ratio as compared to Ipomea cornea composted with cattle manure.
