The rate of evolution of CO2 during soil incubation from orange meal, rice bran meal and steamed bone meal was unaffected by the particle size of the substrate or the method of its application to the soil. However CO2 evolution from cellulose and rice straw was greater from powder (< 1 mm diameter) than from granules (3 mm X 10 mm cylinders), and greater from surface applied powder than from that incorporated into the soil.
