The paper assesses the promising varieties of winter wheat in a competitive variety test by the main economic and biological characteristics that determine the suitability of the variety for commercial use. The object of research was the authors’ own breeding material. The experiments on the selection of winter wheat were made in the experimental crop rotation pattern of the Institute.

In 1982, a long-term project was established in central Queensland to study the effect of crop type, crop rotation, and tillage practice on runoff and soil loss. Runoff and soil loss were measured at the outlet of 9 large contour bay catchments (approximately 13 ha) where wheat, sorghum, and sunflower were grown in 3 crop sequences. Each crop sequence consisted of zero, reduced, and conventional tillage fallow practices. Monoculture cropping was practised from 1983 to 1985, then opportunity cropping from 1986 to 1993. During the study, wheat cropping had lower average annual runoff and soil loss (P < 0·01) than sorghum and sunflower. Zero and reduced tillage retained more crop stubble (median >50%) and had less soil loss (P < 0·05) than conventional tillage. Zero tillage wheat had the lowest average annual runoff and soil loss, and conventional sunflowers had the highest. The erosion risk associated with sunflowers was reduced by a wheat–sunflower crop rotation, particularly when zero-tilled. Monoculture sunflower must be avoided. The region is susceptible to large episodic erosion when crops are not sown, there are long fallows, and soil cover falls below levels critical to control erosion (<30%). Opportunity cropping is the most appropriate system to maximise the regions variable rainfall and reduce runoff and soil loss.

The effects of crop rotation, tillage practice, and herbicide use on the population dynamics of wild oats (Avena fatua and A. sterilis ssp. ludoviciana) were studied in a field experiment in northern New South Wales. In the third and fourth years of a continuous wheat rotation, cultivated fallow using tines increased wild oat density and reduced grain yield compared with a no-tillage fallow. Tillage did not affect the vertical distribution of wild oat seeds in the soil, and about 80% of wild oat seeds were in the top 5 cm of soil in both tillage treatments. The seed reservoir at the end of the experiment was smaller under a no-tillage fallow regime. The half-life of wild oat seeds in the soil was about 6 months, and rotation of wheat with sorghum was the most effective means of reducing the wild oat seed reservoir. Rotational strategies for weed control are also likely to be effective in delaying or minimising the development of herbicide resistance, particularly where the average seed bank life time, as shown for wild oats in this study, is short. Annual use of either tri-allate or flamprop-methyl in 4 successive wheat crops did not prevent a massive build-up of wild oat seed. The poor performance of herbicides was partly attributed to below-average rainfall in autumn and early winter in 1985 and 1986. However, wild oats are well adapted to continuous cropping with wheat, where recruitment of 34% of the soil seed reservoir maintained the population despite the use of selective herbicides. The results of this experiment indicate that a continuous wheat rotation using herbicides to control wild oats is likely to be much less effective in reducing the wild oat seed reservoir.

Crop type information at the field level is vital for many types of research and applications. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) provides information on crop types for US cropland as a Cropland Data Layer (CDL). However, CDL is only available at the end of the year after the crop growing season. Therefore, CDL is unable to support in-season research and decision-making regarding crop loss estimation, yield estimation, and grain pricing. The USDA mostly relies on field survey and farmers’ reports for the ground truth to train image classification models, which is one of the major reasons for the delayed release of CDL. This research aims to use trusted pixels as ground truth to train classification models. Trusted pixels are pixels which follow a specific crop rotation pattern. These trusted pixels are used to train image classification models for the classification of in-season Landsat images to identify major crop types. Six different classification algorithms are investigated and tested to select the best algorithm for this study. The Random Forest algorithm stands out among selected algorithms. This study classified Landsat scenes between May and mid-August for Iowa. The overall agreements of classification results with CDL in 2017 are 84%, 94%, and 96% for May, June, and July, respectively. The classification accuracies have been assessed through 683 ground truth data points collected from the fields. The overall accuracies of single date multi-band image classification are 84%, 89% and 92% for May, June, and July, respectively. The result also shows higher accuracy (94–95%) can be achieved through multi-date image classification compared to single date image classification.

The results of long-term research in experiments with crop rotations with different clover saturation are presented. It is shown that the cluster has a positive effect on the main indicators of vegetation of dark-gray forest soil. The introduction of two fields of perennial grasses into the six-field crop rotation significantly increases both the humus reserves and increases the productivity of arable land by 1.5–2 times compared to the crop rotation with a field of pure steam.

The results of many years of research on the cultivation of crops in fodder crop rotation on dried peat soil are presented. A productive and agroecological assessment of crop rotation with various saturation with perennial grasses is given. The data on the reduction of peat reserves and changes in the agrochemical properties of the soil are presented.
