Full description
Cereal-canola or cereal-canola-legume rotations have advantages in terms of yield stability and profitability in southern Australia, and there is little incentive for grain growers to include other cash crops (a crop that returns a monetary value rather than for use by the grower) in their rotations. This project aims to identify other options for increasing plant diversity in cropping systems without upsetting the use of crops with the highest earning potential. This will be achieved by testing the impact of summer cover cropping, intercropping, or temporary intercropping (sowing multiple species and spraying out all but the cash crop species during the season) on soil water balance and mineral N at sowing, crop performance, and soil function over time.Created: 2021
