The phrase "a continuous cropping" is not correct in standard English; it should be "continuous cropping" without the article "a." You can use "continuous cropping" when discussing agricultural practices that involve growing crops in the same area without rotation.
Example: "Farmers often practice continuous cropping to maximize yield, but it can lead to soil depletion over time."
Alternatives: "perpetual cropping" or "ongoing cropping."
We modelled a continuous cropping regime, a continuously grazed pasture and a mixed cropping and pasture rotation.
The objective of this study was to investigate the long-term effects of different types of crop residue management on main yield response parameters in a continuous cropping system of winter durum wheat.
Autotoxicity reduced both yield and quality of crops in a continuous cropping pattern [ 18].
Floating species such as Eichhornia crassipes and Pistia stratiotes may have standing crops of 10 000 kg/ha and, because of vigorous growth might, under a continuous cropping system, yield up to 100 000 kg/ha.
These farms also, according to an agreed protocol, had to present these specific characteristics: 1. to have a continuous crops area ≥ 1.0 ha; 2. to use for irrigation only water coming from the monitored wells; 3. to have the land management register regularly compiled in the last two years; 4. to be close (≤ 5.0 km) to a meteorological gauge-station.
If you want to ensure a continuous crop, however, you can add seed in the first and second years, when your plants will not likely produce fruit.
There was an increase in WPGR in continuous cropping, double-cropping with cowpea and soybean, and natural bush fallow treatments.
One review looked at studies conducted in the Argentinian Pampas, where in the late 1980s mixed cattle grazing-cropping systems were replaced by continuous cropping of a few crops.
As a valuable medicinal plant, the yield of Panax ginseng is seriously affected by autotoxicity, which is a common phenomenon due to continuous cropping.
Although these negative AMF effects could be the result of a straight density effect (e.g. negative effects of high fungal density), another theory is that the continuous cropping of a single host genotype will speed up the evolution of a mycorrhizal symbiont (Kiers et al. 2002).
