Summary: Replacing maize with soybean in winter wheat rotations increases annual evapotranspiration but does not maintain productivity or improve water productivity. It is suggested to explore other drought-tolerant grain legumes for more reliable yields and less water consumption in legume-based crop rotations.

Summary: Despite the large domestic market for guar gum and the opportunity to diversify regional cropping systems with guar, it is often restricted to a catch crop or substitute crop following cotton failures in the U.S. Southern Great Plains. A systems research study was conducted to evaluate the integration of guar into no-till dryland winter wheat systems, and the results showed that crop rotation sequence influenced seasonal guar yields.

Summary: This study evaluates the effect of lupin cultivation in Galician winter wheat-based rotation systems from an environmental and economic perspective. The results show that incorporating lupin in the rotation systems leads to significant reductions in environmental impacts, such as global warming and marine eutrophication. Additionally, favorable economic consequences were observed in certain rotation systems. This research highlights the importance of understanding the environmental impacts of diversification strategies in agricultural systems and serves as a baseline for a comprehensive sustainability assessment.

Summary: The study found that using cover crops as hay or for grazing did not have a significant impact on subsequent wheat yield, while legume-based cover crop mixtures increased wheat grain protein content regardless of utilization method. Soil quality and nitrogen content improved when cover crops were grazed.

Summary: Based on a four-year field experiment, it was found that pea as a pre-crop has the greatest impact on subsequent maize and wheat production, significantly increasing yield and phosphorus uptake. Application of phosphorus fertilizer during the maize and wheat planting seasons also had a certain impact on yield, biomass, and phosphorus uptake.

Summary: The 2-year outdoor mesocosm experiment investigated the effects of high carbon amendments (HCAs) and different crop rotation systems on soil bacterial communities using a molecular barcoding approach. Results showed a decrease in bacterial diversity after winter barley harvest in no-HCA and wheat straw treatments, while sawdust application stabilized bacterial diversity but negatively affected yields. Different bacterial phyla showed changes in response to the treatments, with only minor differences between wheat straw-amended and no-HCA control samples.

Summary: The objective of this study was to test the ability of different wheat genotypes to take up nitrogen from preceding legume crops under different water scenarios. The results showed that drought-tolerant genotypes had higher nitrogen nutrition index, biomass, yield, and nitrogen output under low water and nitrogen inputs, while other genotypes performed better under non-limiting conditions. Therefore, this study confirms differences between wheat genotypes in nitrogen uptake from preceding legumes in crop rotations under different water levels and highlights the potential of nitrogen nutrition index to assess wheat nitrogen status.

Summary: This study assesses the environmental and economic implications of introducing lupin cultivation into organic rotation systems in Galicia, Spain. The results show that organic rotations have lower environmental impacts, except for ammonia emissions from the use of manure. In terms of economic indicators, the lupin-potato-wheat rotation system obtained the highest gross margin.

Summary: The study aimed to examine the genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationships of various R. solani anastomosis groups (AGs) associated with legume crops. It was found that different legume crops have distinct genetic differentiation within the same AGs, but isolates within the same AGs show high sequence similarity.

Summary: The preceding crop and N fertilization have significant effects on the N cycling and productivity of subsequent wheat in double cropping. These factors also affect the mineral nutriome and nutritional quality of wheat grains. Nitrogen fertilizer application can increase grain yields and the concentrations of major mineral nutrients, while lack of N supply leads to lower yields and nutrient concentrations. Appropriate N fertilization and rotation can achieve high yield and improve grain nutritional quality, particularly for zinc.

Summary: This study found that reducing phosphorus (P) fertilizer application in a rice-wheat rotation system did not significantly impact crop biomass. The PW treatment did not decrease crop total P, root iron (Fe)-plaque P, and soil Olsen-P during the rice growth stages, while the P0 treatment resulted in substantial reductions in these components.

Summary: Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris showed longer survival periods in the phyllosphere of cabbage, tomato, wheat, and pumpkin, while lower survival rates were observed in the rhizosphere of most crops. Cabbage had the highest average survival period in the rhizosphere, followed by lettuce, pumpkin, wheat, and mustard. Sunflower, carrot, zucchini, spinach, sunn hemp, sorghum, maize, and chive are recommended for crop rotation with brassicas due to low Xcc survival rates in both phyllosphere and rhizosphere of these crops.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the ability of three different grain legume species to promote phosphorus uptake by intercropped wheat and assess the differences in root exudation and phosphatase activity induced by each species. Intercropping was found to enhance wheat P uptake more significantly under low phosphorus availability. Pea and lupin intercropping with wheat increased P uptake compared to sole crops, especially in low P availability conditions. Phosphatase activity was highest in soil with lupin and faba bean sole crops, while root exudation was influenced by P supply, showing higher values in intercropped wheat.

Summary: Row croppers in the Southeast United States are interested in diversifying their cropping systems and increasing revenue by growing a winter cash crop between summer crops, especially cotton and peanut. Double-cropping carinata between summer crops has potential to boost grower revenue and increase land use efficiency in the region. Research was conducted to quantify the effects of summer cropping history on the performance of carinata as part of diversified crop rotations in the SE US.

Summary: The study demonstrated that the type of organic mulch used can affect the availability of nutrients and respiration rate in soil, with wheat straw enhancing nitrogen immobilization and reducing nitrogen leaching from faba bean mulch. The microbial biomass nitrogen was significantly higher in soil mixed with wheat and mulched.

Summary: Some studies have found that stingless bee honey may have similar or higher nutritional values compared to normal honey, but it does not meet the standard for honey. The introduction of a lyophilization process helps to reduce moisture content in stingless bee honey, but caution is needed to avoid carbon isotope shifts.
