In an effort to quickly develop new lines of chickpeas that yield well in dry conditions, researchers in India are using genetic markers to speed up the breeding process, says the Crop Science Society of America.
Intensification of crop rotations often leads to less water being available to the subsequent crop in the rotation, often causing lower crop yield and reduced profit. New research compares likely impact of three crops on the following season, compared to a fallow rotation.
Legume species-specific bacteria form a symbiotic relationship with the legume roots. The resulting nodules contain the bacteria. These bacteria can biologically fix nitrogen (N) from the air, making it available to the plant.
The 2016 Washington State University Weed Control Report, summarizing results from field studies conducted in winter wheat, spring wheat, chemical fallow, grasslands, alfalfa, chickpeas, and dry pea, is now available.
The key is constructing a rotation that fully utilizes available moisture and produces enough residue for the whole no-till system to succeed, says No-Till Notes columnist Mark Watson.
