The rapid and intensive expansion of cereal rye as a cover crop for soil conservation and weed suppression may raise the concern of its invasiveness with ecological implications in a few years. Cereal rye has greater chances of developing weediness as compared to other small grain cover crops such as winter wheat and barley. This is partially due to multiple cycles of unintentional or ill-defined human selection and stringent domestication efforts during the process of its evolution, which has reduced the genetic diversity in cereal rye but helped retain traces of weedy traits. Furthermore, unrestricted gene flow due to natural hybridization and incomplete speciation because of weak domestication bottleneck have led to incomplete lineage sorting among the <i>Secale</i> species. This has increased the risks of introgression of weedy characters like delayed flowering and shattering seedhead from wild ancestors and feral rye into cereal rye. The introgression and naturalization of weedy alleles may enable cereal rye to overcome all the barriers of plant invasion, making it an aggressive competitor for resources like nutrient and water as compared to most field crops. Therefore, while the entire northern American agriculture is undergoing extensive adoption of cereal rye cover cropping, it is critically important to assess its invasive potential and implement effective management strategies for its containment, ensuring sustainable agricultural practices and preventing ecological disruptions.</p>","PeriodicalId":10849,"journal":{"name":"Crop Science","volume":"65 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143865734","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of this study was to (1) evaluate the effects of tillage intensity (conventional tillage [CT], no-tillage [NT], and reduced tillage [RT]), nitrogen fertilizer rates, and year on grain sorghum yield and its stability and (2) identify the environmental drivers favoring specific sorghum management practices. This was done by analyzing a long-term study from 1975 to 2022 at Hays, KS, on wheat (W, <i>Triticum aestivum</i> L.)–sorghum (S)–fallow (F) rotation. Yield environments in this study refer to years that were grouped into four (9 or 10 years in each group), based on the average yield obtained in each of these years from this one experimental site. Results of the study indicated that Tillage × Year and N-rate × Year had significant effect on sorghum yields. The number of years (yield environments) that favored one tillage yielding greater than the others split almost equally, that is, 5–6 years for each of the three tillage. Application of fertilizer significantly increased grain sorghum yields in all years, except for four (1976, 1978, 2014, and 2015), compared to the control. Yield stability of grain sorghum evaluated across multiple years was affected by fertilizer rate but not by tillage. In very low-yielding (VLY) years, CT or RT had greater yields compared with NT. In low-yielding (LY) years, NT with &gt;45 kg N ha<sup>−1</sup> yielded the greatest. In high-yielding years, tillage had no effect on sorghum yields but applying fertilizer-N increased grain yield.

Populations developed after one to three cycles of recurrent selection for NFC (NFC1, NFC2, and NFC3) and a control population (NFC0) were evaluated in a field trial at three sites across Canada, and in a greenhouse trial along with the population developed after a fourth cycle of selection for NFC (NFC4).

This increase reached 45 g kg<sup>−1</sup> DM for NFC4 compared to NFC0 in the greenhouse trial. Crude protein (CP) concentration was similar among populations in both trials, resulting in an increase in their NFC/CP ratio. Fiber concentrations were lowered, which resulted in an increase in in vitro DM digestibility of more than 10 g kg<sup>−1</sup> DM for NFC3 in the field and for NFC4 in the greenhouse trials, as compared with NFC0.
