“…Even greater flexibility in annual crop sequencing may be realized through the application of a dynamic cropping system concept, where crop sequence decisions are made annually to optimize production, economic and resource conservation goals 56 . Dynamic cropping systems are location specific, with unique crop portfolios (i.e., adapted crop species) within an ecoregion, and require a thorough understanding of short-term (one to three years) crop sequencing effects on relevant agronomic and environmental response variables 57 . Successful application of the dynamic cropping system concept can increase adaptability to high-risk conditions, and may therefore be more economically and environmentally sustainable than other crop selection and sequencing approaches.…”

Conservation agricultural systems rely on three principles to enhance ecosystem services: (1) minimizing soil disturbance, (2) maximizing soil surface cover and (3) stimulating biological activity. In this paper, we explore the concept of diversity and its role in maximizing ecosystem services from managed grasslands and integrated agricultural systems (i.e., integrated crop-livestock-forage systems) at the field and farm level. We also examine trade-offs that may be involved in realizing greater ecosystem services. Previous research on livestock production systems, particularly in pastureland, has shown improvements in herbage productivity and reduced weed invasion with increased forage diversity but little response in terms of animal production. Managing forage diversity in pastureland requires new tools to guide the selection and placement of plant mixtures across a farm according to site suitability and the goals of the producer. Integrated agricultural systems embrace the concept of dynamic cropping systems, which incorporates a long-term strategy of annual crop sequencing that optimizes crop and soil use options to attain production, economic and resource conservation goals by using sound ecological management principles. Integrating dynamic cropping systems with livestock production increases the complexity of management, but also creates synergies among system components that may improve resilience and sustainability while fulfilling multiple ecosystem functions. Diversified conservation agricultural systems can sustain crop and livestock production and provide additional ecosystem services such as soil C storage, efficient nutrient cycling and conservation of biodiversity.

“…Intercropping, double and relay cropping show detectable environmental benefits (Gaba et al, 2015;Lithourgidis et al, 2011), and increase land equivalent ratio. In view of their short cycle, crambe and camelina are good candidates to be included in new rotational schemes, as highlighted by recent studies (Gesch and Archer, 2013;Krupinsky et al, 2006); however, information on rotational effects of these crops is very scarce and almost all related to Northern American environments. According to Gesch and Archer (2013), the yields of doublecropped soybean and sunflower with winter camelina are respectively 82% and 72% of their equivalent monocrops, but the revenues derived from the sale of camelina seeds provided net return when double cropping system was adopted.…”

“…To the best of our knowledge, in literature there is very limited study on the rotational effects of crambe (Allen et al, 2014;Krupinsky et al, 2006); nonetheless, in view of its short cycle, crambe would fit as a perfect preceding crop for winter cereals, freeing early the soil thus allowing tillage operations to be done on time. …”

-Social, economic and environmental importance of bio-based economy is rapidly growing and vegetable oils play an important role. About 75% of global production of vegetable oils derives from commodity oilseeds (i.e., soybean, oil palm, rapeseed), while the remaining 25% is produced from minor oilseeds characterized by unusual fatty acid composition. The present review aims at analyzing the potentialities of two alternative oilseed crops for Europe, camelina (Camelina sativa) and crambe (Crambe abyssinica), identified as major candidates for the future European bio-based economy as testified by the recently funded EU Project (Horizon 2020) COSMOS (Camelina and crambe Oil crops as Sources of Medium-chain Oils for Specialty oleochemicals). The interest on camelina and crambe is mainly due to their unique fatty acid profile, low input management and wide environmental adaptability. We attempted to analyze pros and cons of development of camelina and crambe in Europe in the light of biorefinery concept (i.e., using oil and whole produced biomass) as undertaken by COSMOS project.Keywords: Bioeconomy / oil crops / Brassicaceae / PUFA / eicosenoic acid / erucic acid Résumé -La bioéconomie, tremplin de développement pour la cameline et le crambe. L'importance sociale, économique et environnementale de l'économie reposant sur le bio, est en pleine expansion et les huiles végétales y jouent un rôle important. De l'ordre de 75 % de la production mondiale d'huiles végétales provient de graines oléa-gineuses (à savoir le soja, le palmier à huile et le colza), tandis que les 25 % restants sont produits à partir de graines oléagineuses mineures caractérisées par une composition inhabituelle en acides gras. Le présent article vise à analyser le potentiel pour l'Europe de deux cultures oléagineuses alternatives, la caméline (Camelina sativa) et le crambe (Crambe abyssinica), identifiées comme les principaux candidats à la future bio-économie européenne comme en témoigne le projet de recherche dit COSMOS (acronyme de : Camelina and crambe Oil crops as Sources of Medium-chain Oils for Specialty oleochemicals, ou Les cultures de cameline et de crambe comme sources d'huiles à chaîne moyenne pour les produits oléochimiques de spécialité) financé dans le cadre du programme Horizon 2020 de la Communauté européenne. L'intérêt porté à la caméline et au crambe est principalement lié à leur profil unique d'acides gras, à leur faible demande d'intrants et à leur large capacité d'adaptation environnementale. Nous avons tenté d'analyser les avantages et les inconvénients du développement de la caméline et du crambe en Europe à la lumière du concept de bioraffinerie (à savoir, en utilisant l'huile et toute la biomasse produite) comme dans le cadre du projet COSMOS.

“…The previous crop has been found in other studies to impact the yield of wheat (Miller et al 2002), canola, andbarley (O'Donovan et al 2014), and 10 crops on the residues of the same 10 crops to produce 100 combinations of current and previous crop (Krupinsky et al 2006). The study by Khakbazan et al (2014) was the only study to examine the effect of a previous crop on the profitability of malting barley, but in that study the previous crop was two years prior to the malting barley crop.…”

Profitable malting barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) production systems are required to reverse the decline in area seeded to malting barley in western Canada. Systems that could increase the profitability of growing malting barley considered the previous crop, nitrogen (N) rate, and fungicide application. The net return (NR) and risk for these systems were computed from western Canada field data. Analysis of variance was used to evaluate the impact of systems on NR over 21 site-years of field data. Risk was evaluated with a stochastic simulation model. NR was higher and risk lower for malting barley when the preceding crop was field pea (Pisum sativum L.), when fungicide was applied at the flag leaf stage for leaf disease control, and when N was 50% of the recommended N rate. Therefore, malting barley should be grown on field pea stubble at a lower N rate, with fungicide applied when there are leaf diseases.Key words: malting barley, net return, risk, fungicide, nitrogen, previous crop.Résumé : On a besoin de systèmes de production rentables pour cultiver l'orge brassicole (Hordeum vulgare L.) et renverser le déclin actuel de la superficie consacrée à cette culture dans l'Ouest canadien. Parmi les moyens susceptibles d'accroître la rentabilité de l'orge brassicole figurent la culture antérieure, le taux d'application des engrais azotés (N) et l'usage de fongicides. Les auteurs ont calculé le revenu net (RN) et les risques associés à de tels systèmes à partir des données glanées sur le terrain dans l'ouest du Canada. L'analyse de la variance a permis d'évaluer l'impact de ces solutions sur le RN grâce aux données recueillies à 21 sites-années. Les risques ont été évalués au moyen d'un modèle de simulation stochastique. Le RN de l'orge brassicole est plus élevé et les risques liés à cette culture sont plus faibles quand celle-ci est précédée par la culture du pois (Pisum sativum L.), quand on applique un fongicide au stade de la feuille paniculaire pour lutter contre les maladies foliaires et quand on coupe le taux recommandé d'engrais N en deux. On devrait cultiver l'orge brassicole sur du chaume de pois en appliquant moins d'engrais N et en recourant à un fongicide là où sévissent des maladies foliaires.
