Increased Productivity of a Cover Crop Mixture Is Not Associated with Enhanced Agroecosystem Services [PDF]

, 2014
Cover crops provide a variety of important agroecological services within cropping systems. Typically these crops are grown as monocultures or simple graminoid-legume bicultures; however, ecological theory and empirical evidence suggest that ...

Plant functional diversity does not dilute virus infection, but community virus prevalence positively correlates with net C3 grass production

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study examines if plant functional diversity dilutes plant virus prevalence in grass hosts and evaluates how virus prevalence influences net community and host production. Functional diversity did not mitigate or amplify virus prevalence. While we found that species relationships between virus prevalence and production varied, overall, virus ...

Summer legumes following winter wheat boost soil nitrogen availability and corn yield

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Abstract Efficient nitrogen (N) management is critical for improving nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) and sustaining corn (Zea mays L.) yields. We evaluated summer cover crops planted after winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) to quantify biomass, N content, soil N dynamics, and subsequent corn performance under rainfed conditions in eastern Nebraska ...

CO₂ Flux and C Balance due to the Replacement of Bare Soil with Agro-Ecological Service Crops in Mediterranean Environment

Agriculture, 2019
Intensive agriculture practices often results in decomposition of organic matter, thus causing soil CO2 emissions. Agro-ecological service crop could be profitably cultivated to improve soil characteristics and reduce CO2 emissions under Mediterranean ...

Effects of catch crops on the content of sulfur (S) and selenium (Se) in vegetables [PDF]

, 2008
Selenium is an essential nutrient for animals, humans and microorganisms. Se deficiency in humans has been linked to a plethora of physiological disorders. Increasing evidences point to an anticarcinogenic potential of Se-compounds.

Defining critical leaf‐ and petiole‐potassium concentrations for monitoring cotton nutritional status

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Abstract Plant tissue testing is an effective tool for diagnosing crop nutritional status; however, critical tissue‐potassium (K) concentrations have not been established for modern cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) cultivars. We aimed to define critical leaf‐ and petiole‐K concentrations at various growth stages for optimal cotton production.

Grazing management for Nordic organic dairy farming [PDF]

, 2005
The aims of this study were to identify limiting factors and to develop adjusted grazing management for Nordic organic dairy farming conditions. The focus was to combine the aspects of plant, animal and organic production, as they are all involved in ...

Lidar and RGB Image Analysis to Predict Hairy Vetch Biomass in Breeding Nurseries

The Plant Phenome Journal, 2019
Early‐season biomass is conventionally phenotyped by subjective visual estimates. RGB image data are highly predictive of biomass in hairy vetch breeding plots. Lidar and RGB image data can be combined to accurately predict sward biomass.

Effects of barley‐pea intercropping on soil carbon, crop productivity, and grain quality in a low‐input temperate agroecosystem

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Abstract Intercropping has the potential to help adapt arable agriculture to climate change, but its effects on soil carbon and crop production in temperate agroecosystems remain uncertain. This study examined the effects of temperate intercropping systems on soil carbon and crop productivity.
