“…Although the effects of rotation on soil mineral status are obvious, it was concluded that the explanation of rotation effects is beyond soil mineral status alone [20]. For example, it was found that crop rotation improved soil structure [14], soil organic matter [15], water use efficiency [16], enhanced mycorrhizal associations [21], improved grain quality [17] and crop nutrient use efficiency [16], decreased the variability in grain yield [18], improved weed control, and interrupt insect and disease cycles [16]. Maintaining optimum nutrient concentrations in soil resulted in higher seed protein and oleic fatty acid percentages [5].…”

Limited information is available on the effects of crop rotation on seed nutrition. Therefore, the objective of the current research was to determine whether crop rotations are beneficial to soybean seed nutrition for the first two complete rotation cycles in an experiment conducted from 2007 through 2012. The first complete rotation cycle (experiment one) was conducted in 2009, then repeated in 2010, and the second complete rotation cycle (experiment two) was conducted in 2011, and then repeated in 2012. The rotation sequences were: wheat-late cotton-fallow-soybean (WCFS), fallow-cotton-wheat-soybean (FCWS), and fallow-cotton-fallow-soybean (FCFS). The results showed that WCFS and FCFS resulted in higher seed oil, palmitic and stearic acids, glucose, sucrose, fructose, Fe, P, and B. No consistent effects on seed protein, oleic acid, linoleic acid, linolenic acid, raffinose, stachyose, and Mn contents were observed. These changes were accompanied by higher P, K, B, Fe in soil and N, K, and B in leaves, indicating that soil and leaf nutrients may result in continuous supply and mobility of nutrients from leaves to seed during seed fill. Our research demonstrated that crop rotation management can result in seed nutrient changes, affecting seed quality.

“…C rop rotation is a proven method of growing field crops. It is practiced worldwide for many purposes, including management or control of crop pests, improving soil physical and chemical properties, and ultimately increasing yield (Mady Kaye et al, 2007). A review of past research focused on temperate dryland wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) production rotated with selected crops in northern Europe, southern Australia, and North America showed an average yield response of 20% or more (Kirkegaard et al, 2008).…”

Cotton Response to Chicken Litter in Rotation with Corn in Clayey Soil

Poultry litter may benefi t continuous cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) production in the heavier Midsouth soils in the same way as crop rotation. Th e objective of this research was to determine the eff ectiveness of poultry litter in maintaining yield of continuous cotton compared with cotton-corn (Zea mays L.) rotation in the Black Belt Prairie clay soils of Mississippi. Th e research was conducted in a Catalpa silty clay loam soil in northern Mississippi. Th ree main plots with the sequence cotton-cotton-cotton, cotton-corn-cotton, and corn-cotton-cotton in 2003-2004-2005 were split into fi ve subplots each of which received 0, 4.5, 9.0, 13.5 Mg litter ha −1 yr −1 , or 123 kg N ha −1 yr −1 as urea-ammonium nitrate solution (32% N; UAN) (conventional inorganic fertilization, CIF). Th e CIF received 180 kg ha −1 UAN-N when planted with corn. Th e results showed 3-yr continuous cotton produced about the same lint yield as cotton that followed corn or 1 yr cotton. Unlike soils in other locations where ≤9.0 Mg ha −1 litter was adequate to produce yield equal to standard inorganic fertilization, cotton in this soil responded to litter up to 13.5 Mg ha −1 , which suggests lint yield in this clayey soil may be optimized with greater litter fertilization rate than in lighter soils. Cotton fertilized with 13.5 Mg ha −1 litter, regardless of the rotation, outyielded the CIF by up to 26%. Overall, the results show adequate fertilization with poultry litter may be more important to improving and maintaining lint yield in this soil than the perceived benefi t of a short-term rotation with corn.

“…Furthermore, crop rotation could be used as an alternative approach to improve soil health and combat soil deterioration. It improves soil structure (Yazar, 2008), increases soil organic matter (Bremer et al, 2008;Bhatti and Khan, 2012) and water use efficiency (Tanaka et al, 2005), improves crop nutrient use efficiency (Karlen et al, 1994), reduces grain yield variability (Varvel, 2000) and improves grain quality (Kaye et al, 2007).…”

Crop rotation can be used as an effective technique for managing salt-affected soils, however selection of suitable crop rotation at farmer field is very intricate decision which depends on expected net revenue, available resources and preserving the soil quality. In this perspective a study was conducted to evaluate a suitable crop rotation scheme for salt affected soils in term of economic value and improving the soil health. Seven crop rotation used were; T1 = Wheat-Rice, T2 = Wheat-Sesamum, T3 = Ispagol-Rice, T4 = Ispagol-Qulfa, T5 = Tukhum-e-blangoo-Qulfa, T6 = Ajwain-Niazboo, T7 = Saunf-Podina. A moderately salt affected field {pHs = 8.65, ECe = 5.20 dS m-1, SAR = 27.73 (mmol l-1)1/2} was selected. The experimental design was randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications having plot size of 4 m x 6 m. Results of two years study showed that maximum grain yield was recorded by rice wheat rotation and maximum net income (208352 Rs. ha−1) and BCR (4.72) was also observed in rice-wheat crop rotation over all other crop rotations. With respect to ameliorative affect, rice- wheat rotation also showed a significant positive impact on chemical properties of salt affected soil. Therefore, it is suggested that rice wheat crop rotation is the most suitable and economically attractive cropping scheme in salt affected soil which has potential to provide better long-term income to farmers, improve soil health and combat soil deterioration caused by salinity.
