Incorporation time of nitrogen catch crops influences the N effect for the succeeding crop (2010, background): “Journal compilation ª 2010 British Society of Soil Science, Soil Use and Management, 26, 27–35 reported by others (see Thorup-Kristensen et al., 2003), and the N supply did not exceed the uptake capacity of the catch crops (Figure 3).”
Biofumigation and Enhanced Biodegradation: Opportunity and Challenge in Soilborne Pest and Disease Management (2006, background): “…and to farming systems in general associated with maintenance of soil cover and soil integrity, soil sanitization effects, reduced erosion, greater soil organic matter and soil structural improvements that improve water penetration (Bailey and Lazarovits, 2003; Thorup-Kristensen et al., 2003).”
Grain legume-based rotations managed under conventional tillage need cover crops to mitigate soil organic matter losses (2016, neutral): “All the last biochemical attributes are directly related to the decomposition of biomass (Justes et al., 2009; Thorup-Kristensen et al., 2003) which is faster for crop residues with a low C:N ratio such as the leguminous (Sanchez et al., 2004).”
Root growth and nitrogen uptake of carrot, early cabbage, onion and lettuce following a range of green manures (2006, background): “Therefore, fixation of large amounts of N can be expected to be more important than winter hardiness of green manures when grown before deep-rooted vegetables (see Thorup-Kristensen & Nielsen, 1998; Thorup-Kristensen et al., 2003).”
Effect of deep and shallow root systems on the dynamics of soil inorganic N during 3-year crop rotations (2006, background): “This effect has previously been termed pre-emptive competition (Thorup-Kristensen 1993; Thorup-Kristensen et al. 2003) and mainly affects deep-rooted crops as catch crops especially reduce Ninorg in the deeper part of the soil.”
Evaluation of mulching, intercropping with Sesbania and herbicide use for weed management in dry-seeded rice (Oryza sativa L.) (2007, background): “Crop residues such as mulch, which may selectively provide weed suppression through their physical presence on the soil surface (Teosdale et al., 1991; Thorup-Kristensen et al., 2003), should be part of integrated weed management in an agro-ecosystem.”
Introduction of cover crops in a maize–soybean rotation of the Humid Pampas: Effect on nitrogen and water dynamics (2012, background): “In the case of legumes N uptake was related to heir biomass production, regardless of the preceding crop, because hey can compensate the soil lower N availability found after maize hrough biological N fixation (Thorup-Kristensen et al., 2003).”
