Assessing crop sequence agronomic quality in grassland regions. A case study in the province of Luxembourg.

Industrial inputs have replaced exact cyclic crop rotations for fertility and pest management in input-intensive agriculture, resulting in a multitude of crop sequence permutations and devastating negative externalities. Strengthening diversified and agronomically optimised crop sequences is critical to promoting sustainable practices. Comprehensive crop sequence diagnosis methods play an important role in evaluating and improving current crop sequence practices. However, recent literature on crop sequence analysis has focused on annual crops only, leading to biased results in crop sequence an... Mehr ...
