View larger version (57K): [in a new window]   Fig. 1. A dynamic cropping system involves assessing numerous interactive factors in order to arrive at the best cropping option for an individual producer.

View larger version (76K): [in a new window]   Fig. 2. A crop x crop residue matrix used to evaluate the influences of crop sequence on crop production. During the first year, 10 crops (numbered 1 through 10) are no-till seeded into a uniform crop residue. During the second year, the same 10 crops are no-till seeded perpendicular over the residue of the previous year's crops. Individual plot numbers are assigned for each experimental unit in the replication.
