The effects of cropping systems (fallow, rotation with sorghum-sudangrass hybrid [Sorghum bicolor x S. sudanense], and continuous soybean [Glycine max]), nematicide (aldicarb) treatment, and soybean cultivar on yield and nematode population densities were studied in a field infested with a mixture of Meloidogyne spp. and Heterodera glycines. Soybean following sorghum-sudangrass yielded 111 kg/h...

Monitoring soil phosphorus (P) changes under continuous cropping over decades is an important agronomic and environmental issue. The aim was to determine soil P dynamics in the plough layer as a function of cumulative P budgets (Bcum) across extended cropping periods (7, 12, and 17 yr) for four rates of mineral P fertilization. This field experiment was established in 1975 on a slightly alkalin...

Emphasis and interest in carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) storage (sequestration) in soils has greatly increased in the last few years, especially C with its’ potential to help alleviate or offset some of the negative effects of the increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Several questions still exist with regard to what management practices optimize C storage in the soil profile. A long-ter...

The predominance of rice-wheat cropping system in Punjab has resulted in number of ecological problems in the state such as depletion of underground water table, deterioration of soil health by adversely affecting the physical, chemical and biological properties of the soil (Kumar et al., 2016). However, for over a decade, ricewheat cropping system yields in high productivity zones have either ...

Continuous cropping obstacles limit soybean production. Biochar is beneficial for growth, but it unclear whether biochar performs a sustainable role in continuous cropping. To further explore the effects of on soil properties and ceramic Wagner pot-simulated field experiment was conducted with at different doses (12, 24, 48 t·ha−1) over period 3 years, no fertilizer, (CK) fertilizer (F)treatmen...

A low-input cropping system has been developed at Yurimiaguas, Peru, to serve as a transition technology between shifting and continuous cultivation for acid soiln of the humid tropics. Principal features are slash-andburn clearing, rotation of acid-tolerant upland rice and cowpea cultivars, maximum residue return, no tillage, and no lime or fertilizer apoiications. When yields decline as a res...

Information on the effect of long-term management on soil nutrients and chemical properties is scanty. We examined the 30-year effect of tillage frequency and cropping sequence combination on dryland soil Olsen-P, K, Ca, Mg, Na, SO4-S, and Zn concentrations, pH, electrical conductivity (EC), and cation exchange capacity (CEC) at the 0-120 cm depth and annualized crop yield in the northern Great...

Timely and accurate monitoring of cropping intensity (CI) is essential to help us understand changes in food production. This paper aims to develop an automatic Cropping Intensity extraction method based on the Isolines of Wavelet Spectra (CIIWS) with consideration of intra-class variability. The CIIWS method involves the following procedures: (1) characterizing vegetation dynamics from time–fr...
