Soil health is a term used to describe the general state or quality of soil, and in an
agroecosystem, soil health can be defined as the ability of the soil to respond to agricultural …

The milpa system is the basis of traditional agriculture in Mesoamerica. It is based on a
polyculture of maize (Zea mays L.), bean (Phaseolus spp.) and squash (Cucurbita spp.) and …

Growing multiple crops in rotation can increase the sustainability of agricultural systems and
reduce risks from increasingly adverse weather. However, widespread adoption of diverse …

Reducing maize postharvest storage losses is a challenge for millions of smallholder
farmers in Mexico. A previous study documented the effects of storage technologies on …

Simple Summary In Mexico, smallholder farmers produce locally adapted maize varieties,
generally called landraces, for food. They participate in the conservation of landraces by …

In production of cereals like maize (Zea mays L.) and barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), seeds
are often treated with pesticides and/or commercial products of plant beneficial …

Conservation Agriculture (CA) is promoted by research and development (R&D) agencies to
sustainably intensify agricultural systems with the goals of improving food security and …

In recent years, conservation rotational tillage has been proposed to regulate soil
physicochemical properties and improve soil productivity. However, the response of soil …

Long‐term agricultural field experiments (LTFEs) have been conducted for nearly 150 years.
Yet lack of coordination means that synthesis across such experiments remains rare …

The aim of the present study was to analyse the physicochemical properties and chemical
composition of soil after years of applying varied tillage systems and pre-crops. The field …
