| Growing mixtures of species instead of sole crops is expected to increase the ecosystem services provided by cover crops. This study aimed at understanding the interactions between species and investigating how they affect the performance of the mixture. Four species were combined in six bispecific mixtures in a field experiment. The performance of each species when grown in a mixture was compared to its performance as a sole crop at different sowing densities, to characterise the influence of intra- and interspecific competition for each species. Intra- and interspecific competition coefficients were quantified using a response surface design and the hyperbolic yield-density equation. Interactions between the four species ranged from facilitation to... |

| As a key-element of conservation agriculture, the occasional or systematic suppression of full-inversion ploughing implies an adaptation of the cropping system. To assess the ability of cover crops to control weeds in a subsequent maize crop grown with reduced tillage, three annual experiments were implemented at the research station of Agroscope Changins, Nyon, Switzerland. Ten non-wintering cover crop (CC) species were sown in mid-summer and compared to a bare soil treatment in strip-plot experiments including different weeding strategies according to integrated weed management rules. In case of a predictable impasse for weed control, an alternative management option was chosen 1) at the end of winter: total herbicide application instead of no... |

| In arable systems, cover crops provide multiple ecosystem services involved in soil protection and fertility. They can efficiently compete against weeds, control erosion or recycle nutrients. The supply of these services is however largely dependent on cover crop growth as most of the services are related to biomass production. The choice of a cover crop adapted to the growing conditions is thus essential. Growing mixtures instead of sole crops is expected to be a way to overcome variable growing conditions and to insure high biomass production.Different field trials have been conducted from 2013 to 2016 in Nyon, Switzerland to assess cover crop biomass production and stability, and their influence on the following crop. Indian mustard, field pea, black... |

| The consequences of a late closing date in autumn on pasture performance in spring are mostly unknown under Mid-European climatic conditions. An experiment on two sites in the Swiss lowlands showed that a delay of the closing date from early October to late November reduced spring yield by 50% (238-821 kg DM/ha) in early April and 18% (556-986 kg DM/ha) in Mai. This reduction of spring yield was particularly high (up to 75%) if the residual herbage mass before winter was below 300-500 kg DM/ha. On the other hand residual herbage mass above this threshold did not increase spring yield considerably. Thus, the utilisation of pasture in late autumn is recommended, if conditions are favourable and if grazing does not reduce the residual herbage mass below... |

| Thanks to positive interactions between species, growing mixtures of cover crops allows improving the ecosystem services provided by cover crop cultivation. In this study, the influence of species diversity but also of species identity and mixture composition on cover crop biomass production and its stability in diverse growing conditions was studied. Several field experiments (varying soil type, preceding crop, soil tillage, sowing density, nitrogen fertilization and spatial replication) were set up in Switzerland during the period 2013−2016. In these experiments, the performance of cover crop species grown as sole crops was compared to that of multispecific mixtures. Part of these experiments followed a simplex design in which four cover crop species... |

| To address the influence of soil tillage reduction on crop yield and soil properties, an experiment was set up in 1969 in the western part of Switzerland. A conventional tillage treatment with plough was compared to a minimum tillage treatment and a deep non inversion tillage treatment, converted to no till in 2007. Evolution of crop yield through time was investigated, as well as the soil properties in 2013. Mean soil properties and their stratification with depth were assessed. The results showed that, after 44 years, globally, all tillage treatments allowedtomaintainsimilaryieldsinthelongterm.However,duringthesametime,soilpropertieshavechanged deeply. Soil organic carbon has decreased compared to the initial situation, in all treatments except in the... |
