Cover crop effects on soils and subsequent crops in the pampas: A meta-analysis
(Elsevier Science, 2017-07)
Cover crops are a valuable management option for reducing soil erosion and nitrogen losses from agroecosystems. They improve soil quality but the impacts on crop yield depend on the type of cover crop, the commercial crop ...
Short-term effects of crop rotations on soil chemical properties under no-tillage condition
(2015-01-01)
The use of crop rotation can provide sustainability for an agricultural production system by improving soil fertility and increasing nutrient use efficiency. Short-term changes in soil chemical properties were studied for ...
Phosphorus and potassium balance in soil under crop rotation and fertilization
(Universidade Estadual de Londrina (UEL), 2012-01-01)
The use of crop rotation and manure application can provide sustainability for an agricultural production system by improving soil quality and increasing nutrient use efficiency. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of ...
Productivity and resource use in intensified cropping systems in the Rolling Pampa, Argentina
(Elsevier, 2015-04)
Increasing cropland productivity is critical to meet future global demand of food, fibers and biofuels. Recent innovations in grain crop management are aimed at designing more ecologically complex cropping systems by growing ...
Crop diversification strategy to improve economic value in Brazilian sugarcane production
(2018-07-01)
Crop diversity is beneficial to rural properties in terms of reducing business risks and increasing agricultural revenues. In sugarcane (Saccharum spp) farming, crop diversity using rotation or succession planting remains ...
Mechanical and biological approaches to alleviate soil compaction in tropical soils: assessed by root growth and activity (Rb uptake) of soybean and maize grown in rotation with cover crops
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2017-03-01)
Chiselling has been used to alleviate soil compaction but cover crops with deep, vigorous roots can improve root growth and activity of the cash crop for a longer time. The determination of root activity in addition to ...
Improving soil fertility and crop yield in a tropical region with palisadegrass cover crops
(2015-01-01)
In tropical regions with dry winters, low plant biomass accumulation during the period between spring–summer crop cultivations can negatively impact soil resources and make the no-till (NT) system unsustainable. Incorporating ...
Crop type influences soil aggregation and organic matter under no-tillage
(Elsevier B.V., 2009-06-01)
The adaptation of no-tillage system in tropical regions depends on the suitable choice of summer and winter crops which should contribute to improvement of soil properties. The aim of the present study was to determine the ...
Do cover crops improve the productivity and industrial quality of upland rice?
(2020-01-01)
Global rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivation is expected to increase, especially in upland no-tillage systems (NTS). The difficulty in producing and maintaining straw in NTS in the Brazilian Cerrado and comparative regions ...
Critical role of plant biotechnology for the genetic improvement of food crops: perspectives for the next millennium
(Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso, 1998)
