“…Cocultivation of winter C. sativa with Persian clover was found to decrease the heavy metal (i.e., copper, lead, nickel, and zinc) content of soils [ 153 ]. Lastly, C. sativa can be used similarly to other cover crops, including those within the Brassicaceae , to promote atmospheric carbon sequestration, suppress weeds, provide erosion control, protect ground water quality, promote organic matter carbon and nitrogen accumulation in soils, and suppress the accumulation of fungal pathogens, particularly saprophytic fungal species, and nematodes [ 154 , 155 ].…”

Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz. is an annual oilseed crop within the Brassicaceae family. C. sativa has been grown since as early as 4000 BCE. In recent years, C. sativa received increased attention as a climate-resilient oilseed, seed meal, and biofuel (biodiesel and renewable or green diesel) crop. This renewed interest is reflected in the rapid rise in the number of peer-reviewed publications (>2300) containing “camelina” from 1997 to 2021. An overview of the origins of this ancient crop and its genetic diversity and its yield potential under hot and dry growing conditions is provided. The major biotic barriers that limit C. sativa production are summarized, including weed control, insect pests, and fungal, bacterial, and viral pathogens. Ecosystem services provided by C. sativa are also discussed. The profiles of seed oil and fatty acid composition and the many uses of seed meal and oil are discussed, including food, fodder, fuel, industrial, and medical benefits. Lastly, we outline strategies for improving this important and versatile crop to enhance its production globally in the face of a rapidly changing climate using molecular breeding, rhizosphere microbiota, genetic engineering, and genome editing approaches.

“…Field trials supposed to enable selection of the most successful genotypes which is critical because of the existence of Genotype by Environment interaction . To assess this interaction we are forced to conduct field trials in several environments and/or years (Vasileva, Kostov, 2015;Babić et al ., 2019;Ugrenović et al ., 2019;Mandić et al ., 2020) .…”

Alfalfa is the most important forage legume in our agroecological conditions for feeding cattle. In the area of Jablanica district, alfalfa occupies a considerable place in the total plant production. The restrictive factor in the establishment and short durability of alfalfa stand is the low pH of arable agricultural soil. Within the three-year field trial on Vertisol soil type (pH in KCl 4.9), from 2016 to 2018, alfalfa plot yield has been analyzed with different fertilization variants. The research results indicate that alfalfa provides a significantly higher yield on the plot where amelioration measures were applied, through the application of limestone and manure, with the addition of mineral fertilizer. A barely lower yield was achieved on the calcified and manured plot, while the lowest yield was on the control plot, where a generous amount of mineral fertilizer was added, which is a common practice of agricultural producers in the area of Jablanica district.

“…After the harvest of these crops, the land stays bare until the following cash crop and is liable for wind and water erosion, loss of nutrients in deep layers, and surface runoff (Figure 1). Nutrients such as NO 3 and other agrichemicals from agricultural land end up in groundwaters and have detrimental effects on the groundwater quality (Meisinger et al 1991;Salazar et al 2013;Ugrenović et al 2019;Norberg & Aronsson 2019). There are numerous cases where N fertilizers' excessive applications for the main crop under the condition of regular irrigation, a severe risk of diffuse pollution of surface water bodies and groundwater exist (Corradini et al 2015;Simeonova et al 2017).…”

“…Among several conservation practices, the cultivation of cover crops has increased farmer's interest in the past decades (Parlak et al 2015). Introducing cover crops in conventional agriculture has numerous benefits (Table 1), such as conservation of soil, surface and groundwater, benefits to the subsequent main plant cultivation in the crop rotational system and protection of wildlife and biodiversity (Salazar et al 2013;Charles et al 2017;Schenck et al 2017;Sharma et al 2018;Toom et al 2019;Ugrenović et al 2019). The subject of this review paper is to demonstrate the benefits of cover cropping from an environmental point of view and to briefly present the importance of introducing cover crops in Macedonian intensive conventional agriculture.…”

“…Nowadays, studies underline the advantage of implementing cover crops as species-diverse mixtures known as ''cocktails'' (MacLaren et al 2019). Elhakeem et al 2018;Thapa et al 2018;Brainard et al 2011;Schenck et al 2017;Ugrenović et al 2019, and many others emphasized that cover crop mixtures often result in better resource capture, greater productivity, and weed suppression compared with planted cover crops in monoculture. However, there is also evidence of better results achieved with cover crops grown in monoculture than in a mixture when weed suppression is a question (Smith et al 2020;Vendruscolo et al 2018).…”

As a consequence of the continuous world population amplification in the last century, agricultural production became intense by excessive mineral fertilizers, pesticides, irrigation, and the practice of continuous cultivation of the same soil. It has a negative impact on the soil's physical, chemical, and biological properties, as a part of the natural environmental resources. Employing cover crops in conventional agriculture has numerous benefits: conservation of soil, surface and groundwater, benefits to the subsequent main plant cultivation in the crop rotational system, and protection of wildlife and biodiversity. Against many benefits, they could have some limitations due to farmers' lack of knowledge, labor and organizing skills for proper timeline and management for all agricultural operations, and lack of machinery for planting and terminating cover crops mechanically. In the Republic of North Macedonia, because of a decline in animal production and reduced availability of organic fertilizers, there is a need to introduce alternative organic manures. In general, there is a lack of thorough studies for the appropriate selection of plant species or their mixture determined by our agro-ecological conditions, as well as the purpose of their use. Additionally, there is a need to strengthen the knowledge and information-sharing mechanisms with Macedonian farmers.
