Although these efforts have not been successful in commercializing grain pea (<i>Pisum sativum</i>) varieties with enhanced BNF, they offer promising avenues for improving pea BNF for forage and cover crop (CC) cultivation. To examine this approach, we tested the performance of a panel of 20 pea lines derived from crosses between high-yielding pea cultivars and two supernodulated pea mutants, Frisson-<i>Sym29</i> and Rondo-<i>nod3</i>. The pea lines, parents, and mutant checks were trialed during the 2020 and 2021 growing seasons in Chico, CA, under rainfed conditions. Nodulation, the percent of nitrogen derived from the atmosphere (%Ndfa), biomass and nitrogen accumulation, and days to flowering of progenies were compared to their parent varieties and mutant donors. Overall, tested materials performed similarly in both study years. The pea produced an average dry biomass of 1694 kg in 2020 and 1964 kg in 2021 while accumulating 53.3 kg N ha<sup>−1</sup> in 2020 and 57.1 kg N ha<sup>−1</sup> in 2021.

Merr.] after winter wheat (<i>Triticum aestivum</i> L.) is the most common double-cropping system in the United States, driven by the desire for increased cash flow and profits and bolstering global food security. Despite its popularity, double-cropping often results in a lower soybean yield compared to full-season systems, attributed to various factors. Maintaining wheat stubble height ≤30 cm during harvesting and planting soybean in between wheat rows minimizes some negative effects of wheat residue. Planting double-crop soybean immediately after wheat harvest is crucial, as late planting is the primary factor of diminished double-crop yield. Late planting results in a shorter soybean growing season, limiting the time available to develop an optimal leaf area index (LAI). Harvesting wheat at high moisture or planting early-maturing wheat cultivars with comparable yield potential can facilitate 7–10 days earlier soybean planting. Employing narrow rows (19 cm) during double-crop soybean planting ensures rapid attainment of optimum LAI (3.5–4.0) by the pod set stage, maximizing solar radiation interception and canopy photosynthesis. A 16 kg ha<sup>−1</sup> starter N may enhance early vegetative growth, expediting optimal LAI achievement. Indeterminate soybean may be more appropriate for double-crop due to fewer branching habits, which reduces competition in narrow rows compared to determinate counterparts. Double-crop soybean in narrow rows requires higher seeding rates than full-season to maximize yield by optimizing LAI expeditiously. Additionally, double-crop soybean is more vulnerable to drought and insect–pest infestation or defoliation than full-season system. Therefore, managing double-crop soybean with the same diligence as full-season is imperative to maximize yield and profitability.</p>","PeriodicalId":7522,"journal":{"name":"Agronomy Journal","volume":"117 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143856901","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}

This study was conducted over the 2019 and 2020 growing seasons at two locations in Minnesota. Corn and soybean seed yield was maximized in treatments where camelina performed poorly and vice versa. Late corn harvest and stover presence had a negative effect on camelina establishment and yield but were favorable to soybean production. Based on both the agronomic and economic analyses for the aggregated cropping system, treatments that began with 90- and 95-day relatively mature corn hybrids performed equally well, regardless of stover presence.

The objectives of this study were to (i) evaluate yield stability under varying levels of stover harvest and (ii) determine the effects of thermal time and precipitation on yield stability in continuous corn systems. A long-term experiment in a continuous corn system with different levels of stover harvest (0%, ∼50%, and ∼90% of aboveground residue), tillage systems, and biochar rates was carried out. Corn yield and yield stability were evaluated. Multiple regression models were developed to determine which factors best explained treatment differences. Both corn yield and yield stability were highest with 50%–90% stover harvest. Yields increased 6%–15% when stover was harvested. High rates of biochar offset the negative impacts of stover retention on yield stability. Tillage did not affect yield stability, but yields were greater under chisel plow than no-tillage. Precipitation explained 43%–49% of yield variability in all treatments. Conversely, thermal time and yield were only correlated in treatments without residue removal. Our results show that yield stability in continuous corn systems is more heavily influenced by stover harvest than biochar application or tillage.

Treatments consisted of monthly applications of liquid aeration (humic and fulvic acid) alone or in combination with fertilizer or seaweed extract, fertilizer alone, single or sequential hollow-tine cultivation, and hollow-tine cultivation followed by liquid aeration. Treatments containing fertilizer resulted in the greatest normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) measurements, while NDVI readings in response to hollow-tine cultivation were similar to the non-treated check. More soil moisture retention was observed in response to treatments containing liquid aeration and/or fertility. Fertilizer treatments resulted in less of an increase in surface hardness than liquid aeration; however, sequential hollow-tine cultivation reduced surface hardness over time. Penetration resistance was reduced by sequential hollow-tine cultivation, while all other treatments were similar to the non-treated check. A long-term increase in water infiltration was observed in response to sequential hollow-tine cultivation. Increased rooting was observed in response to all liquid aeration and fertility treatments compared to the non-treated check, but the greatest increase was observed in response to hollow-tine cultivation.
