Diversifying crop rotations with pulses enhances system productivity
Agriculture in rainfed dry areas is often challenged by inadequate water and nutrient supplies. Summerfallowing has been used to conserve rainwater and promote the release of nitrogen via the N mineralization of soil organic matter. However, summerfallowing leaves land without any crops planted for one entire growing season, creating lost production opportunity. Additionally, summerfallowing ha...
متن کاملCrop rotation modelling
For use in an Internet application on whole farm modelling we needed to determine a reasonable crop rotation given only the crops in the rotation and the number of hectares of each crop. The crop rotation problem considered in this paper is therefore that of determining hectares of precrops for each crop. Crop rotation modelling in general is traditionally done by using linear programming. In t...
متن کاملDiversifying mechanisms in the on-farm evolution of crop mixtures.
While modern agriculture relies on genetic homogeneity, diversifying practices associated with seed exchange and seed recycling may allow crops to adapt to their environment. This socio-genetic model is an original experimental evolution design referred to as on-farm dynamic management of crop diversity. Investigating such model can help in understanding how evolutionary mechanisms shape crop d...
متن کاملHybrid Metaheuristics for Crop Rotation
This work presents a mathematical model adapted from literature for the Crop Rotation Problem with Demand Constraints (CRP-D). This highly complex combinatorial problem is devised to find a vegetable planting program that takes into account green fertilization restrictions, the set-aside period, planting restrictions for neighboring lots and for crop sequencing, demand constraints, while, at th...
متن کاملCrop Rotation Impact on Soil Quality
Management systems influence soil quality over time. A study was carried out on Vanmeter farm of the Ohio State University South Centers at Piketon Ohio, USA to evaluate the impact of crop rotations on soil quality from 2002 to 2007. The crop rotations comprised of continuous corn (CC), corn-soybean (CS) and corn–soybean-wheat-cowpea (CSW). Ten soil cores were collected at 0-7.5, 7.5-15, 15-22....
