Lengthening and diversifying crop rotations is an efficient strategy to reduce the use of
fertilizers and pesticides, thereby improving the sustainability of crop** systems. To test …

Agriculture should now provide not only high yields but also sustainable development with a
sound management of the diversity of ecosystems. Due to this increased complexity of …

For several decades in France, the balance-sheet method has been recommended and
widely used to calculate N fertilizer rates. However, despite the scientific consensus on this …

If the challenges involved in agroecological transition are to be addressed, crop**
systems (CS) need to be changed profoundly, which in turn requires innovative design …

Most agronomy practices such as fertilization, irrigation, and soil treatment involve plant root
interactions. However, the role of plant roots is rarely assessed during agricultural …

Assessing the performance and the characteristics (eg yield, quality, disease resistance,
