ABSTRACT- Crop rotation has many benefits for agro-ecosystems production. In order to evaluate two current rotation systems of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production in Kamalabad region of Fasa, an experiment was conducted during 2015-2016 growing season. The rotation systems were fallow-wheat and cotton (Gossypium spp.)-wheat. Research plots were arranged as a randomized complete block design...

The extreme climate of the northern Great Plains of North America requires cropping systems to possess a resilient soil resource in order to be sustainable. This paper summarizes the interactive effects of tillage, crop sequence, and cropping intensity on soil quality indicators for two long-term cropping system experiments in the northern Great Plains. The experiments, located in central North...

Soil and crop management practices may alter the quantity, quality, and placement of plant residues that influence soil C and N fractions. We examined the effects of two tillage practices [conventional till (CT) and no-till (NT)] and five crop rotations [continuous spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) (CW), spring wheat–fallow (W–F), spring wheat–lentil (Lens culinaris Medic.) (W–L), spring whea...

The typical production systems are characterized on the one side by high diversity ho...

Before studying the mechanisms by which changes in vegetation influence the nematode community following abandonment of a field, it is necessary to first assess the impact of environmental factors such as soil or climate on these organisms. The study was undertaken on sites of increasing fallow duration located in the same area in the Sudano-Sahelian zone of Senegal: a forest and 10 fallow site...

Cover crops are promoted to increase soil organic carbon (SOC) storage and improve biological health in agricultural systems. However, cover crop effects on microbial communities – key regulators of SOC nutrients functioning not clear semiarid environments. This study investigated the response community structure enzyme activities integration under limited-irrigation winter wheat (Triticum aest...
