Abstract
Although the cereal–oilseed–legume rotation offers advantages in terms of disease control, microbial abundance and nutrient transformation, there is little incentive for growers in southern cropping systems to increase plant diversity by growing alternative winter crops. This project aims to investigate other options to increase plant diversity, such as summer cover cropping, intercropping or companion cropping, and to examine their impacts on soil function and winter crop yields. | Provider's Access Rights: Copyright.
