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 ).”
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).”
The Profitability and Risk of Long-Term Cropping Systems Featuring Different Rotations and Nitrogen Rates (2008, background): “Zentner et al. (2002) also found that crop diversifi cation reduces business risk for wheat-based crop rotations in western Canada.”
