Changes in soil physicochemical properties and soil bacterial community in mulberry (Morus alba L.)/alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) intercropping system

MicrobiologyOpen, 2018
A better understanding of tree‐based intercropping effects on soil physicochemical properties and bacterial community has a potential contribution to improvement of agroforestry productivity and sustainability.

Crop performance and profitability for the initial transition years of a regenerative cropping system in the Upper Midwest United States

Journal of Environmental Quality, EarlyView.
Abstract The transition from conventional to more regenerative cropping systems can be economically risky due to variable transition period yields and unforeseen costs. We compared yields and economic returns for the first 3 years of the transition from a business as usual (BAU) conventional corn (Zea mays)–soybean (Glycine max) rotation to an ...

Trichoderma-Inoculation and Mowing Synergistically Altered Soil Available Nutrients, Rhizosphere Chemical Compounds and Soil Microbial Community, Potentially Driving Alfalfa Growth

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Trichoderma spp. are proposed as major plant growth-promoting fungi (PGPF) to increase plants growth and productivity. Mowing can stimulate aboveground regrowth to improve plant biomass and nutritional quality.

Multiyear changes in snowmelt phosphorus runoff with soil P drawdown or application of struvite to an organic forage crop

Journal of Environmental Quality, EarlyView.
Abstract In this study, changes in P runoff losses from three field‐scale small watersheds in the Northern Great Plains region (Manitoba, Canada) under organic management were evaluated over a 7‐year period (2017–2023). A perennial forage crop was grown through this time period, either with biennial addition of a slow‐release fertilizer to maintain ...

Comparative analysis of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) leaf transcriptomes reveals genotype-specific salt tolerance mechanisms

BMC Plant Biology, 2018
Soil salinity is an important factor affecting growth, development, and productivity of almost all land plants, including the forage crop alfalfa (Medicago sativa).

Alfalfa Variety Testing

, 2001
New varieties of alfalfa are released by commercial breeding companies each year. The Iowa State University forage breeding program, in conjunction with the Iowa Crop Improvement Association, tests commercially available varieties at five locations in Iowa, including at the McNay Research Farm. Funding to conduct these tests is provided by entrants who

Chemical and mineralogical characteristics of tropical soils on the transport of Na+, K+, Ca2+, and Mg2+ from the application of treated wastewater

Journal of Environmental Quality, EarlyView.
Abstract With the search for water security, the reuse of water in irrigation becomes interesting and inevitable. Given the complexity of soil–solute interactions, the use of simplified artificial solutions represents an innovative approach, as it facilitates understanding these interactions while posing no risk to human health or the environment ...

Borax Promotes Fertility of Brassica napus Better Than Other Boron Species at Suboptimal Supply

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Continuous and sufficient boron (B) supply is essential for achieving maximum yield in Brassica napus. Increasing incidences of environmental water limitation are linked to reduced plant B availability and increased B deficiencies.
