Barley and Vetch yields from dryland rotations with varying tillage and residue management under Mediterranean conditions
With increasing land-use pressure in semi-arid, dryland Middle Eastern agriculture, fallow-based cereal production has given way to cropping intensification, including legume-based rotations along with conservation tillage ...
Seasonal Changes in Soil Organic Matter and Biomass and Labile Forms of Carbon as Influenced by Crop Rotations
Recent concerns about the role of carbon (C) in climate change and the implications about soil organic matter (SOM) for sustainable use of soils have underlined the need to examine the role of SOM in cropping systems, ...
Forage and Food Legumes in a Multi‐Year, Wheat‐Based Rotation Under Drought‐Stressed Conditions in Northern Syria’s Medium Rainfall Zone
Long-term crop rotation trials were designed to assess sustainability of alternatives to traditional fallow and monocropping. The trial described here (6 years) involved wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in rotation with lentil ...
Nutrient Dynamics in a Long‐Term Cereal‐Based Rotation Trial in a Mediterranean Environment: Nitrogen Forms
Mediterranean agriculture is mainly rainfed, with drought being the main crop production constraint, and is based on cereals, wheat (Triticum spp), and barley (Hordeum vulgare). Fallow was a traditional practice to conserve ...
