PERTH, Australia, Jan. 9 (TNSres) -- The University of Western Australia issued the following news:
A six-year field experiment in the North China Plain demonstrated diversifying crop rotations had benefits for long-term agricultural resilience and soil health.
The research, published in Nature Communications, found diversifying traditional cereal monoculture (wheat-maize) with cash crops (sweet potato) and legumes (peanut and soybean) could provide a model of sustainab . . .
