Production and profitability of diversified agricultural systems

Diversified crop rotation is an option for expanding producer incomes, and its adoption has presented a series of agronomic advantages compared to less diversified systems. In this context, the objective study was verify if higher-diversified systems perform economically better than low-diversified ones. To end, we conducted experiment in no-tillage areas Londrina, south Brazil, years 2014/15 2016/17. The design randomized blocks, with six treatments, consisting different levels diversification, four replications. We observed that yield higher revenues profits. Only these systems, specifically ones included canola-corn, crambe-corn, safflower-soybeans, or wheat-corn+brachiaria, edible beans-soybeans were feasible. Despite cost, greater number commercial crops winter However, high proportion cover are infeasible because their net return negative.
