“…Investigations addressing the coupled use of a few treatments in crop cultivation systems, especially in an integrated farming system [ 23 , 28 ], differing in nitrogen fertilization level and sowing density are sparse. The growing scale of production and the increasing diversity of wheat applications warrant assessing the quality of grain batches received by warehouses.…”

Grain of the highest hardness was produced from durum wheat grown without the use of growth regulator, at the lowest sowing density (350 seeds m-2) and nitrogen fertilization dose of 80 kg ha-1. The highest values L* and b* were determined in the grain of wheat cultivated without additional agrotechnical measures (growth regulator and nitrogen fertilization). Study results, supported by correlation analysis, indicated that high-quality grain with desired flour quality parameters (level of: FER ≈ 64%; FPS ≈ 98%; L* ≈ 92) can be produced from spring durum wheat grown without the growth regulator and at 80 kg·ha-1 nitrogen fertilization. Additionally, this variant of applied cultivation system can reduce costs of durum wheat production and contamination of the natural environment.

“…In this regard, an IFS is an eco-friendly approach that is a suitable combination of farm enterprises allocated systematically in the farm which perform synergistically among themselves and the produce available to the farmer is utilized by the family for their food and nutritional security to sustain their livelihood (Kumar et al, 2018). Walia et al (2019) defined integrated farming as a biologically integrated system, which integrates natural resources in a regulated mechanism into farming activities to achieve maximum replacement of offfarm inputs and sustain farm income.…”

“…The IFS approach is targeted at creating a synergistic effect among crops, forestry, apiary, horticulture, dairy, poultry, fishery, piggery, etc. in a way that the leftover by‐product of one component is used as an input for others ensuring the nutrient recycling or recycling of the resources (Gill et al., 2009; Shekinah & Sankaran, 2007; Walia et al., 2019) as depicted in Figure 5. For example, dung from livestock components can be used as organic manure for crop components, and crop residue can be used to feed livestock.…”

The integrated farming system (IFS) is a holistic farming approach specially designed for small/marginal farmers to enhance the system productivity, profitability, and employment generation of their farm, ultimately ensuring their food and nutrition security for their livelihood. The mechanism of IFS offers various ecosystem services making farms environment‐friendly, sustainable, and climate‐resilient. IFS is characterized by the allocation of different agricultural components systematically in a single farm performing synergistically among themselves making the farm more productive, healthy, biodiversity enriched, and eco‐friendly than simplified farms. Therefore, this review paper represents an extensive analysis of existing literature on IFS exploring its concept, components, and need, and emphasizing its potential for higher system productivity, profitability, and employment generation in a sustainable manner. Moreover, it develops a conceptualization of the relationship among different agricultural components in a single farm exploring its role in ecosystem services (reducing greenhouse gases, carbon sequestration, nutrient recycling, improving soil health, and biodiversity conservation).

Grain of the highest hardness was produced from durum wheat grown without the growth regulator, at the lowest sowing density (350 seeds m-2) and nitrogen fertilization dose of 80 kg ha-1. The highest values L* and b* were determined in the grain of wheat cultivated without additional agrotechnical measures (growth regulator and nitrogen fertilization). Study results, supported by correlation analysis, indicated that high-quality grain with desired flour quality parameters (extraction rate, granulation and lightness) can be produced from spring durum wheat grown without the growth regulator and at medium doses of nitrogen fertilization. Additionally, this variant of applied cultivation system can reduce costs of durum wheat production and contamination of the natural environment.
