Crop rotation with different cropping strategies

Local identifier
R4-0002
Years operational
1960—
Objective
To compare a “traditional” mixed crop strategy including rotational leys and farmyard manure with two modern crop rotations adapted to agriculture without cattle and their effect on yields.
Description
This studies the effect different three different crop rotations, one "traditional" rotation as described above, one "modern" sustainable crop rotation and a second "modern" exploitive rotation .

crop residue management process
Crop residues are managed in four different ways.
crop residues ploughed in
Crop residues are chopped and evenly distributed before being ploughed in.
crop residues burned
Crop residues are not chopped but evenly distributed before burning. The burning is performed no later than two weeks after harvest to avoid the crop residues being moist.
crop residues removed
Crop residues left on soil surface
