Abstract
Actual and potential dehydrogenase and catalase and phosphatase activities were determined in the 0–20–, 20–40– and 40–60–cm layers of a brown luvic soil submitted to a complex tillage and crop rotation experiment. The soil under maize or wheat was more enzyme-active in the 6– than in the 2–crop rotation. In the 2–crop rotation, higher enzymatic activities were registered under wheat than under maize. In the 6–crop rotation, the enzymatic indicators of soil quality decreased, depending on the nature of crops and kind of fertilisers (mineral NP or farmyard manure), in the following order: farmyard-manured maize > minerally fertilised (m.f.) soybean > m.f. wheat > m.f. maize (plot 4) > m.f. maize (plot 1) > m.f. clover.
