Economic Value of Diversified Cropping Systems
- Research Topic: Fertility/Climate/Environment
- Back to Project Listing
While some short rotations are currently profitable, the lack of diversification in a cropping system can be detrimental to maintaining crop yield and profitability. This study will look at determining the net return and the variability of net return, associated with cropping systems of different rotation length and diversity of crops.
This project has now been completed, and the FULL FINAL REPORT is included here. Please also see the ADDITIONAL REPORT submitted for this project.
