Optimizing maize–bean cropping systems for sustainable intensification in southern Ethiopia
Agronomy Journal, Volume 114, Issue 6, Page 3283-3296, November/December 2022., 2022 Abstract Declining productivity and scarcity of cultivable land in smallholder systems call for exploring sustainable intensification options to increase productivity. Field experiments were conducted at five sites (Sites 1–5) of the Sidama region, southern Ethiopia, in 2018 and 2019 to determine the effects of cropping systems on maize (Zea mays L ...

Cover crops affect soybean yield components, but not grain quality
Agronomy Journal, Volume 114, Issue 6, Page 3193-3205, November/December 2022., 2022 Abstract Cover cropping is mainly used to prevent soil erosion, but the effects of individual cover crops on the subsequent soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] are hardly known. Therefore, two annual field trials with 15 cover crop species and bare fallow as control were conducted in semi‐arid East Austria in 2016 and 2017.

Effects of fused and blended fertilizers on maize yield and soil properties
Agronomy Journal, Volume 114, Issue 6, Page 3429-3444, November/December 2022., 2022 Abstract The deficiency of secondary and micronutrients negatively affects plant metabolic functions and reduces crop yields. These nutrients are applied in small quantities (<10 kg ha−1) and are physically blended or chemically fused with primary nutrients to enhance uniformity of application.

Can soil biology tests improve phosphorus and potassium corn fertilizer recommendations?
Agronomy Journal, Volume 114, Issue 6, Page 3457-3472, November/December 2022., 2022 Abstract Integrating soil health (SH) biological properties with soil fertility (SF) evaluations offers a unique opportunity to potentially refine fertilizer recommendations. The objectives of this research included: (a) evaluating current University of Missouri P and K fertilizer recommendations for corn (Zea mays L.) and (b) assess whether SH ...

Maize–soybean intercropping: A bibliometric analysis of 30 years of research publications
Agronomy Journal, Volume 114, Issue 6, Page 3377-3388, November/December 2022., 2022 Abstract Maize (Zea may L.)–soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] intercropping is popular in many countries because of its high productivity. However, no studies have explored maize–soybean intercropping via bibliometric methods. Taking the Web of Science database, the visualization applications of CiteSpace and VOSviewer were used to visually analyze the ...

Replacing fallow with field pea in wheat production systems across western Nebraska
Agronomy Journal, Volume 114, Issue 6, Page 3329-3346, November/December 2022., 2022 Abstract Integration of field pea (Pisum sativum L.) (FP) into dryland cropping systems has increased due to ecological and economic benefits, paired with a growing market for pea‐derived products. Challenges exist in the High Plains that limit the integration of crop rotations to replace fallow periods with FP in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)‐based ...

Does agroecosystem management mitigate historic climate impacts on dryland winter wheat yields?
Agronomy Journal, Volume 114, Issue 6, Page 3515-3530, November/December 2022., 2022 Abstract Global studies that quantify climate effects on crop yields using top‐down spatial frameworks are invaluable for assessing generalized effects on world food supplies, yet do not contain the resolution necessary to identify local mediating effects of management. Our objectives were to identify (a) what climate factors have historically affected

Profit‐maximizing potassium fertilizer recommendations for corn and cotton
Agronomy Journal, Volume 114, Issue 6, Page 3358-3376, November/December 2022., 2022 Abstract Whereas K fertilization is necessary to maximize corn (Zea mays L.) and cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) yields in soils with sub‐optimum K availability, maximizing yield is rarely profit‐maximizing. Estimating the tradeoff between yield and fertilizer cost using current soil‐building and/or yield‐maximizing rate recommendations vs.

Cropping system diversity and tillage intensity affects wheat productivity in Texas
Agronomy Journal, Volume 114, Issue 6, Page 3498-3514, November/December 2022., 2022 Abstract Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production in Texas depends heavily on conventional tillage (CT) and a long summer fallow period, which contributes to soil degradation. This study compared the impact of reducing tillage intensity (CT, no‐tillage, and strip‐tillage) combined with summer cropping to CT–summer fallow on wheat establishment, grain ...
