ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF CROP ROTATION SYSTEMS FOR THE PLANALTO MÉDIO OF RIO GRANDE DO SUL STATE
Abstract
During nine years the economic effects of seven c rop rotation systems were assessed. The following systems were evaluated: system I (wheat/ soybean); system II (wheat/soybean. from 1987 to 1989, and wheat/ soybean and common vetch/corn, from 1990 to 1995); system III (wheat/soybean, black oats or white oats/soybean, and common vetch/corn); system 1V (wheat/soybean, white oats/soybean, flax/soybean, and common vetch/corn, from 1987 to 1989, and wheat/soybean, sunflower or black oats/soybean, white oats/soybean, and common vetch/ corri, from 1990 to 1995); system V (wheat/soybean, wheat/soybean, black oats or white oats/soybean, and common vetch/corn); system VI (wheat/soybean, wheat/soybean, white oats/soybean, flax/soybean, and common vetch/ com, from 1987 to 1989, and wheat/soybean, wheat/soybean, sunflower or black oats/soybean, white oats/soybean, and common vetch/corn, from 1990 to 1995); and system VII (winter fallow/soybean, from 1990 to 1995).
