A cover crop can either become an asset or an expense. The difference lies in selecting species that work with your soils, ...
The long-term physicochemical responses of aeolian sandy soil aggregates to different crop rotation patterns are poorly understood. Here, we collected soil samples from the 0 to 20 cm tillage layer of ...
A typical maize crop removes around 55kg/ha P2O5 at 40t/ha fresh yield. However, the critical factor is not total phosphate ...
Increasing agricultural yields through crop diversification may help achieve food and nutrition security. However, the benefits of a transition from monoculture to crop rotation may be reduced if ...
Large perennial grasses like miscanthus are a primary target for use as bioenergy crops because of their sustainability advantages, but they take several years to establish and aren't ideal for crop ...
Although crop rotation is practised widely in Europe, notably for the control of crop pests, diseases and invasive weeds, monocultures[1] still dominate in Africa and Southern Asia. Elsewhere, ...
Crop rotation or growing different crops on the same land season after season, can be difficult to understand. Farmers who have been exclusively growing maize may ask, "Why should I reduce the ...
The rains are here and farmers are busy. Maize farmers should understand the growth and development of the plant to do proper crop husbandry to maximise yields. Although farmers have no control of ...
