Break crop benefits in temperate wheat production (2008, background): “…analysis in both Australia and North America suggest that adoption of more diverse and dynamic crop sequences including cereal and pulse crops can contribute to higher and more stable net farm income despite a requirement for increased expenditures on purchased inputs (Zentner et al., 2002).”
Nitrogen Economy of Pulse Crop Production in the Northern Great Plains (2007, background): “It has long been recognized that N fertilizer represents one of the main economic and energy costs of continuous cropping systems in the Northern Great Plains ( Zentner et al., 1984, 2002a, 2002b, 2004 ).”
Blackleg disease of canola mitigated by resistant cultivars and four-year crop rotations in western Canada (2013, background): “Similar conclusions regarding the reduction of crop diseases with increasing crop diversity in the rotation were reached by Bailey et al. (1992, 2000), Brandt & Zentner (1995), Zentner et al. (2002) and others as reviewed by Krupinsky et al. (2002).”
Oilseed Crops for Semiarid Cropping Systems in the Northern Great Plains (2002, background): “Specific research needs for each oilseed inclusion in rotation with cereals could increase net recrop have been recommended. turns and reduce risk through improved production sta- bility (Lafond et al., 1993; Dhuyvetter et al., 1996; Zentner et al., 2002).”
Ongoing Development of Integrated Weed Management Systems on the Canadian Prairies (2008, background): “Farmers have adopted this technology to maintain soil quality, conserve soil moisture, and most importantly to improve farm profits (Zentner et al. 2002).”
Glyphosate associations with cereal diseases caused by Fusarium spp. in the Canadian Prairies (2009, background): “The adoption and use of conservation tillage (minimum- till and ero-till) practices have become widespread throughout western anada (Zentner et al., 2002).”
Crop Productivity and Economics during the Transition to Alternative Cropping Systems (2007, background): “…the transition period, biological changes and management adjustments may increase input costs or depress yields (Jaenicke and Drinkwater, 1999; Dabbert andMadden, 1986; Zentner et al., 2002b), inhibiting adoption of these systems in the short-term (Jolly et al., 1983; Krause and Black, 1995).”
Pulse Crop Adaptation in the Northern Great Plains (2002, unknown): “of economic returns (Zentner et al., 2002).”
Magnitude and farm-economic value of grain legume pre-crop benefits in Europe: A review (2015, background): “Due to the stronger cereal dominance and lower production intensity, grain legume pre-crop benefits are higher and more valuable relative to the overall moderate yield level (Seymour et al., 2012; Zentner et al., 2002), compared to Europe.”
