How cropping systems affect soybean yield?

Cropping systems had more than 50% incidence of soybean root rot. Among them, the pasture-soybean-pasture system is the least indicated to be applied in succession to soybean cultivation. The higher compaction of the soil and predisposition to root rot of soybean, caused by the application of the system, caused a loss of 23 kg per hectare of soybean for each 1% in the increase of root rot. These results were collected by researchers from the State University of Santa Catarina (UDESC), in Lages, Santa Catarina, Brazil. Read More →
