Droughts Are A New Reality For New England Diverse Crop Rotations Can Research informed management practices, aimed at helping food producers remain resilient to adverse growing conditions, are critical as the granite state is experiencing more and more drought conditions. since 2016, parts of new hampshire have experienced “extreme” droughts—resulting in major crop and pasture losses and widespread water. Droughts are a new reality for new england. diverse crop rotations can help. | unh today unh.edu unhtoday 2022 10 droughts are new reality new england.
Droughts Are A New Reality For New England Diverse Crop Rotations Can When it comes to crop rotations, complexity is key to boosting levels of nitrogen—a soil nutrient that is critical to crop production. however, new research. Recommended citation. unh communications and public affairs, "droughts are a new reality for new england. diverse crop rotations can help." (2022). However, new research from an international group of scientists—among them nh agricultural experiment station scientist stuart grandy, a professor in the natural resources and the environment department at unh—shows that complex crop rotations can benefit levels of nitrogen even during droughts, when application of nitrogen fertilizers can. Diversifying cropping systems improves environmental health and has the potential to reduce risk from climate change related threats, but empirical evidence remains sparse. in this study, we found that maize yields were higher during adverse weather, including droughts, when maize was grown as part of a more diverse rotation. rotation diversification also increased maize yields over time and.
Complex Crop Rotations Affects Plant Soil Nitrogen During Droughts However, new research from an international group of scientists—among them nh agricultural experiment station scientist stuart grandy, a professor in the natural resources and the environment department at unh—shows that complex crop rotations can benefit levels of nitrogen even during droughts, when application of nitrogen fertilizers can.

The integration of crop diversity into planting rotations was found to increase corn yields by 28 percent on average, regardless of other growing conditions. yield increases ranged between 15 and 90 percent by using more than one crop—such as sorghum, oats, rye, alfalfa, spring barley, red clover, or winter wheat—in the rotation. Increasing crop rotational diversity could thus help ameliorate the impacts of an increasing frequency and intensity of droughts and heat waves that will likely affect maize production in the future 18 and have subsequent impacts on farmers' livelihoods and the food system. 1 these results complement recent work showing how national level crop.
