“…Despite the positive result in all treatments, the values of the economic indicators were lower than those obtained by Garbelini et al (2020), even with lower yields for both cultures in the evaluated harvests. What may explain this difference is the fact that the sale price of the products adopted in this research reflects the moment of planting the experiment, in September 2016 and the authors use the sale prices of the products in December 2018 in their work, considerably higher.…”

“…In the literature, there is a preference for studies with an economic focus to evaluate soybean and corn crops individually (Kamali et al, 2017;Robusti et al, 2019;Garbelini et al, 2020). Thus, these studies usually consider only one crop, instead of the double summer crop system, in which, different sowing date possibilities of each crop may greatly affect the economic result (Melo et al, 2012;Volsi et al, 2020).…”

The success of soybean-maize double summer crop is very dependent on the sowing date and relative maturity group of cultivars. This study aimed to evaluate the economic feasibility of the adoption of soybean-maize double cropping under different sowing periods and soybean maturity groups. The production data used were obtained from two summer growing seasons (2016/17 and 2017/18) in an experiment carried out at Dois Vizinhos-PR, Brazil. The economic feasibility of each treatment was evaluated through the indicators of gross revenue, gross margin, operating profit, and profitability index. Soybean-maize succession is viable and presents positive profitability. Soybean establishment on October 15th makes it economically unfeasible to sow maize (outside the zoning) as a 2nd summer crop. Soybean maturity groups from 5.1 to 5.3, when sown on October 1st allow profitability and better financial balance, being this combination the most suitable for a double summer crop. Soybean genotypes with maturity group 6.0 are an option for sowing in the middle of September, being the most lucrative and efficient arrangement, providing maize sowing in the middle of February, within the agroclimatic zoning of the region.

“…AS-I had the lowest soybean productivity at the end of the two crop cycles, i.e., in 2016–2017 and 2019–2020, a result that is directly related to corn–soybean double cropping. In the southern region of Brazil, for example, soybean productivity in crop rotation systems with species diversification is 6.2% higher than that in double-crop systems 22 . In this sense, the results of this study indicate that production systems with little species diversification have lower soybean productivity than those that employ crop rotation with species diversification.…”

Crop rotation with species diversification contributes to the control of pests, diseases and weeds and improves soil fertility and conservation, which can lead to increased profitability in grain production systems. The objectives of this study were to determine whether grain production systems that employ crop rotation with species diversification are more productive and profitable than double-cropping rotations without diversification and to analyze the revenues and production costs of these cropping systems. An experiment was conducted in a region with subtropical climate between the crop years of 2014–2015 and 2019–2020. The experiment consisted of a randomized block design with six treatments and four replicates. The treatments consisted of six grain production systems, including five rotations with varied levels of species diversification and a corn–soybean rotation without species diversification, all under no-tillage. Productivity, revenue, production cost and profit indicators were analyzed. Productivity was compared by Duncan’s test (p ≤ 0.05). The grain production systems with species diversification showed better productivity and profitability than the corn–soybean system. The profit of the systems with species diversification was on average 37% higher than that of the system with corn–soybean rotation. In summary, grain production systems that employ crop rotation with species diversification showed higher productivity and profitability than the corn–soybean rotation without species diversification.

“…However, the difficulty of inserting crop rotation into the productive system also presents an obstacle associated with the cost of operations and the low availability of seeds of the species necessary for rotation. These factors are aggravated by the use of cover crops with little economic return in the short term (Garbelini et al, 2020). Especially considering the economic pressure on subsistence farmers, mainly those who farm leased land.…”

In some rural properties of Brazil, soil and water conservation practices are partially or inappropriately implemented, intensifying soil erosion, even in no-tillage (NT) areas. This study aimed to check the farmer's understanding of conservation agriculture (CA) and assess whether they are using practices appropriate to soil conservation. A basin in the state of Paraná, in Southern Brazil, was selected. Surveys were conducted based on a structured questionnaire and in-person interviews of 234 farmers. Among these farmers, 67 % do not understand CA pillars adequately, and 68 % stated they have been using NT for over 12 years. However, 58 % stated that they carried out some kind of soil preparation. Furthermore, some of the farmers only partially implemented CA, adopting a low level of crop diversification. The main problems pointed out by the farmers to justify simplifying the CA approach were soil compaction, low production of plant biomass and resistance of weeds to herbicides. Most farmers in the study do not have enough knowledge of the pillars of CA. As a result, there is little diversification in crop rotation, and the soil is continually disturbed with chiseling. Furthermore, although most farmers use terracing, they drive sprayers crossing terraces and following the slope, a practice that can impair the capacity of terraces to control surface water runoff. These practices do not contribute to soil and water conservation and endanger the sustainability of agricultural production systems.
