Simple grain (Control): maize-soybean (2 years)
Diverse grain (Pest): canola/cereal rye-soybean/cereal rye-maize-forage-forage-forage (6 years)
Diverse forage (Manure): silage maize-wheat/leg. cover-silage maize-canola-forage-forage-forage (6 years)
Notes
1) Diverse grain and forage sequences changed between 2010 and 2018, but always consisted of three years of annual grain, silage, or cover crops followed by two (grain) or three (forage) years of perennial forage.
Various fertilizer practices were tested within the three production systems.

Diverse forage (Manure) rotation was no-till . Diverse grain (Pest) rotation was no-till in the standard herbicide sub-treatment while the reduced herbicide sub-treatment included full-tillage once in 6 years. Simple grain (Control) rotation was primarily no-till. In 2016 a chisel-disc split plot was integrated to compare to the other no-till splits.
