Interseeding of ruzigrass into soybean: Strategies to improve forage cultivation in no-till systems
Annals of Agricultural Sciences, 2021 No-till (NT) farming is a major soil conservation strategy. In the Brazilian Cerrado, soybean is the main grain crop, and strategies that improve the cultivation of cover crops in the off-season in succession to soybean could facilitate NT for large ...

EUCALIPYTUS LITTER CONTRIBUTION TO THE INTEGRATED CROP-LIVESTOCK SYSTEM
FLORESTA, 2019 The aim of this study is to assess eucalyptus litter and nutrient deposition on a monthly basis, at the age 47 to 58 years, in integrated eucalyptus with crop system (ICF), eucalyptus with livestock (ILF) and eucalyptus monoculture (F). Integration system data were compared through t test and compared to eucalyptus monoculture through ANAVA and Duncan ...

Impact of crop-livestock-forest integration on soil quality
Agroforestry Systems, 2018 Integrated agricultural production systems with trees, grain crops and forage species are important for land use optimization. However, they can result in non-uniform changes in physical and chemical soil properties. The objective of this work was to evaluate chemical and physical soil properties in a eucalyptus-based agroforestry system.

Designing crop-livestock integration at different levels: toward new agroecological models?
, 2017 Integrated crop-livestock systems have been shown to improve nutrient cycling, particularly by re-coupling nitrogen and carbon cycles. Yet the number of mixed crop–livestock farms has been falling steadily in Europe.

Determinants of crop-livestock integration by small farmers in Benin
International Journal of Biological and Chemical Sciences, 2016 Despite the numerous work conducted on integrated crop-livestock systems, very little is known about factors determining farmers’ trend to integrate. Our study aimed at a socioeconomic characterization of endogenous crop-livestock integration in Benin and identification of determinants of farmers’ decision to use these practices.

Evolution of Integrated Crop-Livestock Production Systems [PDF]
, 2023 Many factors contribute to changes in the crop-livestock systems, but no logical end-point in the evolution process exists. While benefits of integrated crop-livestock systems over specialised crop and livestock systems are well documented, there has ...

Livestock water productivity - integrated approaches to crops and livestock and integrated policies
, 2009 Speaking at the December 2009 SLP meeting in Addis Ababa, Tilahun Amede (ILRI/IWMI) argues that livestock, although both a major source of livelihoods and user of water, are overlooked in policy-making on water productivity.
