1. HISTORY OF CROPPING SYSTEM
Two‐field system (二圃式農業)
• This system was employed in Europe and middle East in ancient times (until the age of the Roman empire, etc.). It then started to be taken over by the tree‐field system.
• In the fallow, the livestock are allowed to graze on the stubble and enrich the soil with droppings.

Three‐field system(三圃式農業)
• Winter crop : wheat, rye(ライ麦)
• Summer crop : barley, oat(エンバク、カラス麦、オーツ麦), faba(ソラマメ), pea(エンドウ)
• The animal was grazed in permanent pasture and kept in the pen(柵) to collect droppings(糞, manure, faces)
• Could not ensure the fodder(飼料) during winter season.
When the Roman empire was expanded to the middle Europe, the two‐field system for winter rain climate was modified to the summer rain climate

Pasture
Convertible husbandry(穀草式農法
• A part of the common pasture was enclosed and converted to the private forage field
• Higher forage production increased animal production. • It also increased the soil fertility of the crop land
Several years’ crop production followed by several years’ forage production

Norfolk rotation(輪裁式農法、ノーフォーク農法)
• In this system, all the common pasture and fallow was discontinued, and forage turnip and red clover (legume) were introduced.
• This enabled multi group feeding and drylot feeding(舎飼).
Mid of 18ct, most intensive rotation system was established in Norfolkarea in England.

History of the development of cropping systems
The factors which increased the productivity in the new cropping systems are:
1. Livestock manure droppings in fallow (three‐field)
2. Forage and manure (convertible)
3. Legumes (Norfolk)
4. Root crops (Norfolk)

3. CROP ROTATION
1. Legume rotation
2. Effect of legume rotation other than N
3. Legume rotation and soil carbon
4. (Effect of mycorrhizae (菌根菌)→ dealt in the following lecture)
Legume mixed cropping in the world
• Maize with Bean (Central and South America)
• Rice with Soybean (Asia)
• Rice with Mungbean (Asia)
• Sorghum with Pigeonpea (India)
• Pearl millet with cowpea (Africa)
Low consumption of legumes compared with cereals
→ Low planting density of legumes compared with cereals

Long‐term trend in sorghum yield in continuous cropping and in rotation with cowpea
(1960‐2004年)
(Mori 2010)
Continuous vs. Rotation
N credit
• It was known in corn‐belt in US, that the requirement of N for maize after soybean is less than that after maize.
Decrease in N demand = N credit
Usually N credit has been attributed to the nitrogen fixation by soybean
• “However, the N credit theory has been questioned because estimates of N fixation and subsequent removal with the grain suggest that soybean actually results in a net removal of N from many soils (Heichel and Barnes, 1984)”
Martens et al 2006
• “After grain removal, it was estimated that the growth of cv. Chippewa in this soil led to a net soil depletion of 54 kg N/ha.”
Zapata et al 1987
Then experiments with non‐nodulated soybean was conducted

Effect of previous soybean on maize crop in Illinois, US
(Bergerou et al 2001)
Effect of previous crop and rate of applied N on grain yield of maize.
Effects of previous soybean on sorghum yield (Nebraska, US)
2003 : (6.7‐5.1)/(6.7‐2.1)=0.35 N2‐fix contribution=35%
2004 : (7.7‐5.9)/(7.7‐3.3)=0.41 N2 fix contribution=41%
Contribution of N2‐fixation is only 35‐41%
• “These data suggest that biological N fixation effects of soybean accounted for approximately 35% of the grain yield enhancement due to rotation in 2003 and 41% in 2004, thus most of the rotation benefit was due to effects other than biologically fixed N by the preceding soybean crop, ‐‐‐‐, this is the similar to the findings of Gentry et al. (2001) and Bergerou et al. (2004) for maize‐soybean rotation.
(Kaye et al. 2007)
Other possible mechanisms
• Immobilization/mineralization of soil Organic N(Smith and Sharpley 1990, Green and Blackmer 1995)
• Decrease in diseases(Bagayoko et al 2000)
• Increase in VA mycorrhizal infection(Bagayoko et al 2000)
• Improvement of soil physical characteristics(Gakale and Clegg 1987)
• Change in soil microbial biomass(Roder et al 1988)
Parasitic nematodes decreased by rotation with legumes (?)
(Bagayoko et al 2000)
VAM infection increased with legume rotation (?)
(Bagayoko et al 2000)

• “The improved growth of maize following soybean, i.e., the soybean N credit, was largely the result of a decrease in net soil mineralization in continuous maizeproduction. “
• Bergerou et al. 2004
(Drinkwater et al. 1989)
Cropping systems with LEGUMES increase the C3 carbon in the soils
