Double-cropping soybeans, wheat increases farm productivity

摘要

The double-cropping of soybeans and wheat has become an increasingly attractive option economically for Louisiana farmers because of technological improvements, and about 85 percent of Louisiana wheat acres are doublecropped with soybeans. The LSU AgCenter has conducted a number of studies over the years examining this system. From 2001 to 2009, a long-term analysis of the profit potential of a soybean/ wheat double-crop was compared to a monocrop system. This study was conducted at the Macon Ridge Research Station in Winnsboro, La.
