Background: A field study with the same crop rotations was conducted to test the hypothesis that the soil Carbon fluxes and balances could vary according to the crop species and also mitigate carbon dioxide (CO2) emission. ...

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 ...

Soil organic matter conservation, paramount in tropical agriculture, is affected by the composition of cultivated plant species and the input of dry matter and nitrogen into the system. However, SUM development in tropical ...

The introduction of cover crops in agricultural systems under no-till is important in soil structuring and remediation. However, there is a lack of studies exploring the effects of cover crops compared with other soil ...

It is very important to know the types of cover crop managements before starting the deployment of the main crop, because these can influence the grain yield as well as the mechanical harvesting process, occurring losses ...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the dry matter (DM) yield and nutrient accumulation in cover crops and the effect of these, as well as mechanical management of crop residues on growth and grain yield of crambe ...

Upland rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivation has been increasing in importance in Asia while water availability for irrigation has been decreasing because of rapid growth in industry and urban centers. Therefore, the development ...

Aims: Cover crop species selection for soybean (Glycine max) production under no-tillage (NT) management may affect soil organic C sequestration by altering the quantity and quality of C inputs, thereby affecting cropping ...
