Glomalin has important roles in soil aggregation in agricultural lands including controlled horticultural lands.
The objective of this study was to measure total glomalin content of soils treated conventional farming system
(CFS), conventional farming system without pesticides (CFSWP), and organic farming system (OFS) for
strawberry cultivation under greenhouse in Goseong-gun, Korea. The average concentration of total glomalin
in the soils was significantly higher in the OFS (2.00 mg g^-1) compared to the CFS (1.68 mg g^-1). In addition,
soil microbial biomass C content was 4.9 times higher in the OFS (821 mg kg^-1) compared to the CFS (169 mg
kg^-1). Nitrogen uptake rate of strawberry was higher in the OFS (52.4%) than that in the CFS (13.0%).
Furthermore, yield of strawberry in OFS (51 Mg ha^-1) was significantly higher compared to CFS (35 Mg ha-1).
