• Break crops and rotations for wheat (2015, methodology): “However, the most recent review of break crops had no reports from field experiments where the yield of a following wheat crop increased because of P solubilising (Kirkegaard et al. 2008) and no such reports have since been made.”
• Agroecosystem management and biotic interactions: a review (2011, background): “Such processes include changing the population of specific rhizosphere organisms, which may influence crop pathogens through competition, antagonism or suppression (Kirkegaard et al. 2008).”
• Break-crop benefits to wheat in Western Australia – insights from over three decades of research (2012, background): “But where Ydiff remains relatively constant and the yield response curves after the legume or cereal continue to be parallel with increasing applications of fertiliser, factors other thanNareprimarily involved (Chalk1998;Kirkegaard et al. 2008; Peoples et al. 2009b).”
• Soil microbial quality associated with yield reduction in continuous-pea (2009, background): “The underlying mechanism(s) for the beneficial impact of crop rotation on plant diseases (Kirkegaard et al., 2008) and improved yield when growing pea and wheat in a rotation are not well understood.”
• Magnitude and farm-economic value of grain legume pre-crop benefits in Europe: A review (2015, background): “Grain legumes improve growing conditions and increase the yield of subsequent crops in the rotation, an effect that has been analysed in several reviews (Jensen, 1997; Chalk, 1998; LuetkeEntrup et al., 2003a; Giambalvo et al., 2004; Kirkegaard et al., 2008; Peoples et al., 2009a,b; Köpke and Nemecek”
• Facilitation and biodiversity–ecosystem function relationships in crop production systems and their role in sustainable farming (2021, background): “…practice, is often from a completely different plant family (e.g. a brassica used as a break crop for cereals), and can have a ‘soil cleaning’ effect, with other benefits including increased soil carbon and improved soil physical characteristics (Kirkegaard et al., 2008; Robson et al., 2002).”
• Control of crop diseases through Integrated Crop Management to deliver climate-smart farming systems for low- and high-input crop production (2021, background): “The aim of crop rotation is to sequentially grow different crop types in the same field by alternating susceptible and non- susceptible host crops to interrupt a disease cycle (Kirkegaard et al., 2008).”
• Crop rotation effects on yield of oilseed rape, wheat and barley and residual effects on the subsequent wheat (2015, background): “In wheat, such conditions inevitably cause yield losses between 8% and 57% depending on the site, weather conditions and crop management (e.g. Zimmermann 1984; Widdowson et al. 1985; Christen 1998; Sieling et al. 2005; Kirkegaard et al. 2008).”
• Nitrogen contribution through Sesbania green manure and dual-purpose legumes in maize–wheat cropping system: agronomic and economic considerations (2009, background): “In addition to N contribution, the biomass of these summer legumes also recycled considerable quantities of P, K and other nutrients; and thus might have improved fertility build-up, physical and biological properties of the soil (Singh et al. 1991; Jensen and HauggaardNielsen 2003; Behera et al. 20”
• Grain legume-based rotations managed under conventional tillage need cover crops to mitigate soil organic matter losses (2016, unknown): “As a summer crop, sunflower is harvested later than pea and usually depletes soil water and mineral N at depth fact that could have led to pre-emptive competition for resources with the succeeding durum wheat (Kirkegaard et al., 2008; Rachidi et al., 1993).”
