Over the last decades, non-cereal crops have been displaced in European cropping systems leading to a significant dependency on imported soybean. Continuous maize under Mediterranean irrigated conditions can lead agronomic and environmental problems. The objective of this work was assess diversified maximize protein production while reducing synthetic N fertilizer use. A field experiment carried out from 2019 2021 an area NE Spain. Four systems, (i) continuous (MM), (ii) soybean rotation one...
Under Mediterranean rainfed areas, no-till cereal-based systems have been adopted to cope with water availability and increasing input costs. However, the increased risk of biotic stresses, high N-fertilizer dependence, current EU policies warrant cropping re-design. Evaluate diversification N fertilization as strategies improve use efficiency at system level quantify its productivity. Four crop sequences combined four levels were assessed in a three-year field experiment semiarid...
Agricultural systems are a major source of greenhouse gas emissions, contributing significantly to global climate change. As the demand for food increases, there is need identify sustainable soil management practices that minimize environmental impacts while maintaining or enhancing crop productivity. The Daycent model useful tool simulating ecosystem responses changes in and In this study, we calibrated using yield carbon data collected from five long-term ongoing experiments (PROspective...
The EU aims to improve plant protein production profitably and sustainably with a range of grain legumes suitable different climatic conditions. Soybean (Glycine max Merrill) could be one important focus as the crop is adapted diverse conditions has highest content per kg grain. Under Mediterranean irrigated conditions, soybean presents high-yielding potential, either an annual single (SCS) or part sequential double cropping system (DCS) following winter crop. However, lack experimental data...
Mediterranean cropping systems, characterised by continuous cereal cropping, are largely dependent on synthetic inputs, such as N fertilisers. On the other hand, they face difficult pedoclimatic conditions, exacerbated climate change. Diversification is seen a way to increase systems resilience. The aim of this study was co-design diversified based expertise local stakeholders and co-assess their performance, using modelling data. Our case Ebro valley in Spain, area with great potential for...
Abstract The irrigated cropping systems in South Europe could benefit from soybean [ Glycine max (L.) Merr.] introduction their maize ( Zea mays L.)‐based crop rotations. However, sustainable weed management strategies are needed for growers under Mediterranean conditions. This work aimed to assess the control efficacy, and performance, of alternative practices single‐ double‐cropped soybean. Two field experiments were carried out northeast Spain period 2019–2021.
