The Effect of Summer Cover Cropping on Soil Health Is Limited by the Quantity of Carbon Inputs in a Winter Dominant Low Rainfall Environment

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The effects of summer cover crops on cash crop yields and soil health in semi‐arid cropping systems in southern Australia remain largely unexplored. A study was conducted in Western Australia to investigate cover crop impacts on soil carbon and nitrogen cycling, soil water, and mineral nitrogen (N) and cash crop yield.

Grazing and cover crop effects on cover crop biomass and crop productivity during transition to organic production

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract We conducted a 4‐year organic transition field study to evaluate the effects of objective‐based cover crop mixtures and grazing on cover crop and forage biomass, residue, and carryover effects on the yield of the first organic certified crop.

Influence of Leguminous Cover Crops on Soil Chemical and Biological Properties in a No-Till Tropical Fruit Orchard

Land, 2022
South Florida’s agricultural soils are traditionally low in organic matter (OM) and high in carbonate rock fragments. These calcareous soils are inherently nutrient-poor and require management for successful crop production.

Evaluating the Adapt‐N model for dynamic nitrogen recommendation in Brazilian maize (Zea mays L.) systems

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Several nitrogen rate recommendation methods have been developed to help farmers fertilize close to the economic optimum N rate (EONR). The objectives of this study were to (i) evaluate a dynamic method (Adapt‐N) for N rate recommendations for maize (Zea mays L.) in Brazil relative to EONRs determined specifically for each trial and (ii ...

Preliminary Functional Group Patterns of Arthropods in a Maize Field and Adjacent Cultivated Refuge Strip in South Africa

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 2, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Agricultural intensification is a major driver of global arthropod declines. Habitat management strategies, such as cultivated refuge strips (CRS), can counteract these effects by enhancing biodiversity, promoting conservation biological control and improving agroecosystem resilience.

Crotalaria juncea Genotype Biomass Accumulation in Northern Semi-Arid and Humid-Continental Climates

Agronomy
Crotalaria juncea (sunn hemp) is a tropical forage legume used as a cover, forage, and fiber crop. Sunn hemp seed production occurs primarily in India because it requires short days to flower and set seed. Seeds available for production are typically non-

Yield of sweet potato as a function of organic fertilization and intercropping with Crotalaria juncea

Agro@mbiente On-line, 2018
In the northern region of Brazil, information for the sweet potato regarding suitable soil management, especially organic fertilisation and intercropping with species of green manure, are still in the early stages. The aim of this research therefore, was

Structural Quality of an Ultisol Under Long‐Term Different Tillage Systems and Cover Crops With Corn in Northeast Brazil

Soil Use and Management, Volume 42, Issue 2, April‐June 2026.
ABSTRACT Dual‐purpose corn cropping is a widespread and economically important agricultural activity in Brazilian rural areas. The objective of this work was to study the structural quality of a dystrophic Red‐Yellow Ultisol under different tillage systems, previous crops and inoculant treatments, and its relationship with corn yield.

Phenotypic Characterization of 16 Accessions of Sunn Hemp in Florida

Agronomy Journal, 2016
Adoption of sunn hemp (Crotalaria juncea L.) as a cover crop has been limited primarily due to the availability of seed sources, leading to high seed costs and unreliable supplies. Seed production in Florida with the commercially available sunn hemp cultivar Tropic Sun has been largely unsuccessful.

Initial insights into sunn hemp–corn intercropping for forage production and nitrogen reduction

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Corn (Zea mays) is a globally important crop to produce grain and silage for livestock systems. However, corn generally requires high levels of nitrogen (N) fertilizer. Introducing sunn hemp (Crotalaria juncea L.; SH), an annual legume, is a potential option for reducing N inputs.
