Crop diversification for forage production on animal farms: focus on forage sorgho and mixed cropping of silage maize-climbing beans

By diversification of cultivated crops, the often narrow crop rotation of silage maize and grass or the monoculture of maize on certain fields can be expanded. ILVO explores two alternatives: forage sorghum and mixed cropping of silage maize with climbing beans.

Maize crop residues crucial for carbon in the soil

Maize crop residues crucial for carbon in the soil

The root biomass of maize contributes - relatively speaking - twice or even three times as much to the build-up of stable soil organic matter in the soil as the above-ground crop residues (maize straw) do.
