“…The role of cover cropping on soil physical and chemical properties has been investigated (Adeli et al 2020;Mauro et al 2015;Nascente and Stone 2018;Ramos et al 2020;Wulanningtyas et al 2021). In the present study, the best results were obtained by adopting T. subterraneum with dead mulches incorporated into the soil (TCC-B).…”

“…A number of researchers have demonstrated that the inclusion of cover crops in no-till farming systems ensures various ecosystem services (soil erosion control, carbon sequestration, reduction of nutrient leaching, degradation of agrochemicals, increase of biodiversity, pollinator attraction, etc.) (Blanco-Canqui et al 2015;Daryanto et al 2019;Kaye and Quemada 2017;Mauromicale et al 2010;Sharma et al 2018a, b;Wulanningtyas et al 2021).…”

The soils of Mediterranean semiarid environments are commonly characterized by low levels of organic matter and mineral elements, as well as severe weed infestations, which, taken together, cause an intensive use of auxiliary inputs (tillage, fertilizers, herbicides). Although cover crops are recognized to sustainably improve soil health, the impact of Trifolium subterraneum L. cover cropping needs specific attention. This research investigates for the first time the effects over 4 years of T. subterraneum and spontaneous flora cover crops, after either incorporating their dead mulches into the soil or leaving them on the soil surface, on soil organic matter (SOM), macroelements, mineral nitrogen, microelements, and weed seedbank dynamics as indicators of soil quality in an apricot orchard. Compared to a conventional management control, the T. subterraneum cover crop with the burying of dead mulch into the soil increased the amount of SOM (+ 15%), ammoniacal (+ 194%) and nitric (+ 308%) nitrogen, assimilable P2O5 (+ 5%), exchangeable K2O (+ 14%), exchangeable Na (+ 32%), exchangeable K (+ 16%), Fe (+ 15%), Mn (+ 28%), Zn (+ 36%), and Cu (+ 24%), while it decreased the weed seedbank size (‒ 54%) and enhanced weed biodiversity. These findings suggest that T. subterraneum cover cropping may be an environment-friendly tool to enhance soil quality and limit auxiliary input supply in Mediterranean orchards.

Technological solutions for the cultivation of potatoes in the organic farming agroecosystem

One of the main tasks of organic production of agricultural products is to reduce the load on agroecosystems while simultaneously obtaining a yield indicator of high consumer quality, as with intensive production technologies, and this can be attained only through the fuller use of the biological potential of a crop, species, variety. In the production of agricultural products using biologized machine technologies, they interact with the environment: the atmosphere, hydrosphere and soil. The research is aimed to the creation of adaptive biologized machine technologies that ensure the efficient use of natural resources in the production of agricultural products with a minimum impact on the environment. The research object is the potato agrocenosis in the crop rotation of tilled and field crops. The crop rotation includes potatoes, beets, perennial legumes and cereals. In the experiment, potatoes of the Udacha variety (superelite), zoned for the Leningrad region, were cultivated. Particular attention was paid to the assessment of possible environmental risks in the implementation of the selected technological solutions for growing potatoes, as well as the fight against weeds, since the use of synthetic herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, etc. radically contradicts GOST 33980 - 2016 “Organic products. Rules for production, processing, labeling and sale”.

The regional agroecological conditions, specific to the Transylvanian Plain, are favorable to soybean crops, but microclimate changes related to global warming have imposed the need for agrotechnical adaptive measures in order to maintain the level of soybean yield. In this study, we consider the effect of two soil tillage systems, the seeding rate, as well as the fertilizer dosage and time of application on the yield and quality of soybean crops. A multifactorial experiment was carried out through the A × B × C × D − R: 3 × 2 × 3 × 3 − 2 formula, where A represents the year (a1, 2017; a2, 2018; and a3, 2019); B represents the soil tillage system (b1, conventional tillage with mouldboard plough; b2, reduced tillage with chisel cultivator); C represents the fertilizer variants (c1, unfertilized; c2, one single rate of fertilization: 40 kg ha−1 of nitrogen + 40 kg ha−1 of phosphorus; and c3, two rates of fertilization: 40 kg ha−1 of nitrogen + 40 kg ha−1 of phosphorus (at sowing) + 46 kg ha−1 of nitrogen at V3 stage); D represents the seeding rate (1 = 45 germinating grains (gg) m−2; d2 = 55 gg m−2; and d3 = 65 gg m−2); and R represents the replicates (r1 = the first and r2 = the second). Tillage had no effect, the climate specific of the years and fertilization affected the yield and the quality parameters. Regarding the soybean yield, it reacted favorably to a higher seeding rate (55–65 gg m−2) and two rates of fertilization. The qualitative characteristics of soybeans are affected by the fertilization rates applied to the crop, which influence the protein and fiber content in the soybean grains. Higher values of protein content were recorded with a reduced tillage system, i.e., 38.90 g kg−1 DM in the variant with one single rate of fertilization at a seeding rate of 45 gg per m−2 and 38.72 g kg−1 DM in the variant with two fertilizations at a seeding rate of 65 gg m−2.
