Adapting perennial grain and oilseed crops for climate resiliency

Crop Science, 2023
AbstractClimate change is threatening the status quo of agricultural production globally. Perennial cropping systems could be a useful strategy to adapt agriculture to a changing climate. Current and future perennial row crop systems have many and varied applications and these systems can respond differently than annuals to agricultural challenges ...

Agronomic characteristics and yield of organic maize straw intercropped with perennial green manures

Pesquisa Agropecuária Tropical, 2016
Maize intercropped with perennial green manure is an option to promote soil coverage, control weeds and recycle soil nutrients, in an organic system. This study aimed at evaluating the agronomic characteristics and yield of grains and organic maize straw

LONG TERM EFFECTS OF SOIL SOLARIZATION, BIO- AND ORGANIC FERTILIZERS ON SEQUENCE MAIZE CROP [PDF]

Journal of Agricultural Chemistry and Biotechnology, 2006
Dun'ng two successive seasons (2003 and 2004). field experiments were carried out to determine the long-term effects of soil solarization with application of organic and bio-fertilizers on maize (Zea mays L.) grown after faba bean. The results showed that

What is the prospect of a perennial grain revolution of agriculture? [PDF]

Global Sustainability
Abstract Non-technical summary Agriculture has been dominated by annual plants, such as all cereals and oilseeds, since the very beginning of civilization over 10,000 years ago. Annual plants are planted and uprooted every year which results in severe disturbance of the soil and disrupts ecosystem services.

Strategies, Advances, and Challenges in Breeding Perennial Grain Crops [PDF]

Sustainability, 2018
The development of new perennial crop species is gaining momentum as a promising approach to change the fundamental nature of ecosystem processes in agriculture. The ecological argument for perennial crops grown in polycultures is strong, but until recently, perennial herbaceous grain crops have been absent from agricultural landscape.

Discussion: Prioritize  Perennial Grain Development for Sustainable Food Production and Environmental  Benefits            

Science of The Total Environment, 2023
Perennial grains have potential to contribute to ecological intensification of food production by enabling the direct harvest of human-edible crops without requiring annual cycles of disturbance and replanting. Studies of prototype perennial grains and other herbaceous perennials point to the ability of agroecosystems including these crops to protect ...

Turnover of Minerals and Organics in the Postharvest Herbage of Annuals and Perennials: Winter Wheat and Goldenrod

Agriculture, 2018
Crossing annual cereals, legumes, and oilseeds with wild rhizomatous relatives is used to create perennial lines that fruit over 2⁻3 seasons. Contrary to annual crops, the year-round vegetation cover should contribute to carbon sequestration, soil ...

Breeding Perennial Grain Crops Based on Wheat

Crop Science, 2017
Wild relatives offer a diversity of traits potentially useful in crop improvement. Identification of major genes for resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses, in conjunction with targeted introgression, has introduced some of these traits into cultivated varieties. The difficulty of transferring complex traits, and associated linkage drag, has limited

Enhancing Crop Domestication Through Genomic Selection, a Case Study of Intermediate Wheatgrass

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Perennial grains could simultaneously provide food for humans and a host of ecosystem services, including reduced erosion, minimized nitrate leaching, and increased carbon capture.
