Nitrogen Fertilizer Requirements in an Annual Dryland Cropping System
Agronomy Journal, 1994 AbstractReduced tillage systems in the Central Great Plains have improved precipitation storage efficiency and increased the potential to crop more intensively than with the traditional crop‐fallow system. More intensive cropping will require additional N input to maintain economical yields.

Large-Scale Dryland Cropping Systems
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports, 2016 This study was conducted from 2008–2018 at the Kansas State University Southwest Research-Extension Center near Tribune, KS. The purpose of the study was to identify whether more intensive cropping systems can enhance and stabilize production in rainfed ...

Cover cropping impacts on soil water and carbon in dryland cropping system
PLOS ONE, 2023 Incorporating cover crops into the rotation is a practice applied across many parts of the globe to enhance soil biological activities. In dryland farming, where crop production is highly dependent on rainfall and soil water storage, cover cropping can affect soil water, yet its effects on soil hydrological and biological health require further ...

A Niche for Cowpea in Sub-Tropical Australia?
Agronomy, 2021 Pulses have emerged as important rotation crops in Australia. Some are in demand in agricultural production systems due to their high potential market value, because of their roles as grain or forage crops, their nitrogen fixation capability, and because

Redefining the link between rainfall and crop establishment in dryland cropping systems
Agricultural Systems, 2021 Abstract Context The seasonal break is a rainfall event that has traditionally initiated sowing and enabled plant establishment in Mediterranean-type environments. Despite its importance to crop production, neither the pattern of the seasonal break, nor the impact of recent autumn rainfall decline in eastern Australia on the pattern has been ...

Relating soil chemical properties to other soil properties and dryland crop production
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022 Soil chemical properties have often been related to some other soil properties and crop yields, but extensive evaluation of the relationships of soil chemical properties with other properties and long-term crop yields under dryland cropping systems is ...
