Cluster 5: Cropping System Modeling

Cluster 5 investigates the impact of different crop rotations and management practices on the productivity and sustainability of NOcsPS cropping systems. Using crop growth models, interactive effects of biotic and abiotic stress on crop yields in NOcsPS systems are analyzed to estimate impacts on nitrogen surpluses and greenhouse gas emissions. By identifying suitable, region-specific crop rotations and management practices, the potential of NOcsPS systems can be fully utilized, and favorable regions for their implementation can be identified.
