Abstract:
... Monoculture farming pollutes the environment by increasing the use of inputs, accelerating soil erosion, polluting water resources, raising carbon level in the atmosphere, and decreasing biodiversity. Therefore, farmers are advised to implement diversified farming systems such as crop rotation. However, crop rotation, i.e., planting more than one crop in the same field over a given year, may also ...

Abstract:
... Agriculture is a major contributor to nitrate groundwater contamination. Hence, farmers are demanded to reduce the environmental impact but simultaneously must provide sufficient food products. One important building block for this “sustainable intensification” are appropriate cropping strategies. The potential of modified crop rotations was evaluated in a high-yielding environment in Northern Ger ...

Abstract:
... More diversified crop rotations are a key factor in reducing weed, disease and pest pressure while reducing the use of phytosanitary products. The increase in available data calls for the development of new methods and indicators to characterize crop rotations. This paper presents an application of network analysis to assess the diversity of crop rotations from the Land Parcel Identification Syste ...

Abstract:
... Rhizoctonia and Rhizoctonia-like species of fungi that cause disease are known to have varying host ranges and aggressiveness. Accurate identification of these species causing disease is important for soybean disease management that relies upon crop rotation. The anamorphic genus Rhizoctonia contains several diverse species and anastomosis groups (AGs) including some known soybean pathogens, such ...

Abstract:
... Meeting an increasing demand for food while preserving the environment is one of the most important challenges of the 21st century. To meet this challenge, conservation agriculture can rely on the age-old practice of crop rotation. The objective of this article is to develop a methodology for predicting and visualizing crop rotations, supporting discussions between agronomists and producers. Based ...

Abstract:
... Phytoremediation potential of two oil crop rotations (oilseed sunflower–rape (O+Ra) and peanut–oilseed rape (P+Ra)) was compared with three conventional cropping patterns (rice–rape (R+Ra), rice–rice (R+R), single cropped rice (SR)) in experimental plots with cadmium (Cd)-contaminated soil. A new approach was used to evaluate phytoremediation potential based on the balance between annual input and ...

Abstract:
... The data reported in this article is related to the research article entitled “Short-term effects of conservation agriculture strategies on the soil quality of a Haplic Plinthosol in Eastern Cape, South Africa” [1]. Standard soil extraction procedures and experiments were used to generate the raw soil indicator data [2] and the data was interpreted using the Soil Management Assessment Framework (S ...

Abstract:
... Bacterial communities play an important role in maintaining stable functioning of soil ecosystems, participating in decomposition of plant residues, accumulation of organic matter, formation of soil aggregates and in the cycle of nutrients. For agroecosystems, maintaining the diversity of microbiocenosis is especially critical because they are essentially less stable and are dependent on external ...

Abstract:
... To investigate nitrous acid (HONO) levels and potential HONO sources above crop rotation fields. The HONO fluxes were measured by the aerodynamic gradient (AG) method from 14 December 2019 to 2 January 2020 over an agricultural field in the Huaihe River Basin. The ambient HONO levels were measured at two different heights (0.15 and 1.5 m), showing a typical diurnal cycle with low daytime levels an ...

Abstract:
... Typologies are widely used to tailor management practices to structural farm households, and to identify recommendation domains. However, it has often been shown that the recommendations are not followed by farmers, especially in the agricultural context of sub-Saharan Africa. We aimed to identify links between a typology based on the structure of farm households and a typology based on farmers' m ...

Abstract:
... In the context of climate change, agricultural cultivation, as one of the most vulnerable sectors, is under threat. Extreme weather and climate conditions have caused a series of problems, such as yield loss, more serious pests and diseases, and declining biodiversity. Conservation tillage is considered a potential method to improve climate resilience, yet the intrinsic mechanism of how conservati ...
