“…The herbicide plot demonstrated a slightly higher yield than the integrated systems, over two years, but the rate of peach yield increment in the second year was higher in integrated plots (15.8%) compared to the herbicide system (8.8%), while overall peach yield increased by 13%. This rise in fruit yield correlated directly with less weed-tree competition [34]. It is also worth noting that weed-tree competition was under control in both orchards due to the consideration of different numbers of weeding interventions, based on the weather conditions and rain distribution during the summer season (Figure 1).…”

Despite the productivity, achieving long-term sustainability and maintaining plant biodiversity have become the pivotal goals in orchard floor management, especially along tree rows. Thus, the paradigm of eradicating weeds in the tree row using chemical herbicide or repeated soil tillage needs to be substituted with more sustainable alternatives. This study was conducted in two commercial apple and peach orchards in Marche region (Italy). Two integrated mechanical approaches, integrated mowing (mower and brush or disc) and integrated tillage (blade weeder and integrated mowing), were compared with the standard herbicide system in a 2-year trial. Weed species diversity, soil coverage, and weed biomass production, including, gas exchange parameters, trunk cross-sectional area (TCSA), fruit yield and quality were measured. Overall, both integrated practices demonstrated approximately 82%, 91% and 113% more species diversity, soil coverage, and weed biomass production, respectively, than herbicide systems. No significant differences were found in terms of tree gas exchange parameters, growth and fruit yield. However, a few fruit quality parameters such as fruit firmness, soluble solids content (SSC) and dry matter content responded positively to the integrated practices. These results suggest that the integrated mechanical approaches of weed management increased orchard biodiversity, and had no adverse effects on tree growth, fruit yield, and quality. The average costs per hectare associated with chemical weed control were 66.5% and 72% lower, respectively, compared to integrated tillage and integrated mowing. However, the government subsidies provided to the orchardists to encourage sustainable management practices were able to offset such additional costs.

“…Maximum micronutrients content of leaves was recorded under paddy straw mulch followed by glyphosate, which was statistically at par with treatments paddy straw mulch and cowpea. All the micronutrient content in leaves increased marginally over the year as observed by Hussain et al, (2018).…”

“…The plastic-film mulch improved soil hydrothermal conditions (Hai et al, 2015) and (Wang et al, 2016) and these improved soil hydrothermal conditions and nutrient availability comprise the basic mechanisms for the increase in plant productivity under plastic-film mulch. Hussain et al, (2018) observed that mulch with paddy straw mulch followed by glyphosate recorded highest soil moisture content, which was statistically at par with paddy straw mulch and bicolour polythene mulch. Increased soil moisture content below the mulches in various mulches treatments might be due to reduction in soil surface evaporation, increased infiltration percolation capacity of soil and suppression in extreme fluctuation of soil temperature thus retaining the soil moisture in the soil for longer duration.…”

“…At the same time, organic matter decreases, which is harmful to fertility and productivity (Boone et al, 2018;Zhu et al, 2018). Therefore, it is recommended to use cover crops (Hussain et al, 2018;Rasyid, 2016;Munawir et al, 2019;Merten and Minella, 2013) which have long been used in India by using legumes in annual crops (Usha et al, 2015), to minimize loss of topsoil soil through erosion (Mozumdar, 2012;Wang et al, 2019).…”

History shows the long process of apple plants originating from subtropical regions adapting to Indonesia's tropical climate until its popularity is increasingly marginalized and replaced with other commodities, as evidenced by the decreasing land area, especially in Batu City. Indonesia. In developing and analyzing solutions based on the principles of sustainable development, an integrated and holistic approach is required. To understand problems and find solutions, we can use Systems dynamics. The purpose of this study is to obtain a policy scenario that encourages sustainable apple farming. Data is collected from the local government and BPS City or Province so that the selected variables follow the specific location. The system approach is used to identify needs, problem formulation, preparation of input-output diagrams, cause-effect diagrams and stock-flow diagrams. A series of scenarios is created and tested through simulation to understand the system's dynamic behavior better and obtain the desired output. The best scenario was chosen, namely by replanting 10% of old plant each year, using integrated agriculture with 3 female and 1 male brooders, reduction of land change with 50% success, Local economic development by integrating tourist ticket and hotels with 0,75 kg apple fruits also increasing health support for students
