DOI: 10.1016/j.fcr.2020.107904
Abstract: Abstract Diversified grain crop rotations have shown yield advantages, but it is unclear if this is related to improved N supply. Crop residue-N supply could be an important driver of differences observed in contrasting crop… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsos.221401
Abstract: Crop rotation, a sustainable agricultural technique, has been at humanity’s disposal since time immemorial and is practised globally. Switching between cover crops and cash crops helps avoid the adverse effects of intensive farming. Determining the… read more here.

DOI: 10.2134/agronj2017.11.0633
Abstract: Short-duration summer annual crop rotations are widely used in the Midwest, but their long-term impact on soil quality has not been thoroughly examined. Our goal was to compare soil properties under long-term use of the… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/agronomy11040724
Abstract: Intensive agricultural practices are leading to loss of soil fertility and overexploitation of natural resources which cause nutrients imbalance and further impair ecosystem services. Organic farming (OF), also coupled with minimum tillage and crop rotations,… read more here.
