1 lut 2023 · Introducing soybean, millet, and potato into innovative multi-crop rotations is endorsed for farm configuration transition shifting from simple two-crop rotation in one year to multi-crop rotations for crop diversification, maximum system resilience, and minimum groundwater depletion.
Crop rotation, by nature, increases exposure to biomass from sod, green manure, and various other plant debris. The reduced need for intensive tillage under crop rotation allows biomass aggregation to lead to greater nutrient retention and utilization, decreasing the need for added nutrients. [9]
24 lis 2019 · This option can increase soil organic matter and organic nitrogen, protect against soil erosion, reduce disturbance (avoid excess tillage), increase crop diversity and ground cover, and cycle water, nutrients, and energy efficiently, ultimately helpful in increasing soil quality.
10 lut 2022 · Crop rotation can greatly increase the soil water content, thus increasing the water use efficiency of crops, promoting the water cycle between the soil and the atmosphere, and giving crops higher resistance to extreme weather.
7 gru 2018 · In this chapter, we reviewed the previous literature concerning the positive effects of implementing crop rotation instead of monoculture cultivation on soil physical, chemical, and biological characteristics. Crop rotation improves soil structure and reduces bulk density .
Crop rotation using cover crops is one way to enhance soil health and subsequent crops while also helping to maintain cleaner surface and groundwater. Cover crops prevent erosion, improve soil physical and biological properties, and supply nutrients to the next crop.
Over the past two decades, global nitrogen (N) fertilizer consumption on single cropland has increased by approximately 21 %, significantly impacting crop production, food security, and environmental sustainability (Govindasamy et al., 2023, Penuelas et al., 2023).Despite the increase in fertilizer use, N use efficiency (NUE) in cereal production remains alarmingly low, ranging from 30 % to 35 ...
