A cropping system refers to the type and sequence of crops grown and practices used for growing them. It encompasses all cropping sequences practiced over space and time based on the available technologies of crop production.

[The] primary and secondary tillage operations normally performed in preparing a seedbed and/or cultivating for a given crop grown in a given geographical area, usually resulting in < 30% cover of crop residues remaining on the surface after completion of the tillage sequence. 5, record 4, English, - conventional%20tillage
Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Conventional tillage incorporates or buries most of the crop residue into the soil. Typically this approach involves multiple passes in fields. The moldboard plow is often used first, followed by other implements. Since this method plows under much of the crop stubble, it leaves the surface relatively bare and without cover protection. 6, record 4, English, - conventional%20tillage

Le travail du sol classique consiste à incorporer par enfouissement la plupart [des] résidus au sol. Cette opération se fait généralement en plusieurs passages. Généralement, on passe d'abord la charrue à socs, puis d'autres instruments aratoires. Comme on se trouve à enfouir le gros des chaumes, la surface devient relativement nue, sans protection. 2, record 4, French, - travail%20du%20sol%20conventionnel

Record number: 5, Textual support number: 2 OBS
It should be emphasized that the integration of herbicides into the crop protection program or system needs careful consideration. Main factors to be considered are the rotation sequence, the most common weed or complexes of weeds in the field, and their density and duration. Effort should be made in choosing and matching the particular herbicide(s) with the specific weed species or complexes of weeds present, the geographic location, and edaphic and environmental conditions. Many combinations of herbicides result in either additive or synergistic effects on weeds. The activity of soil-acting herbicides depends on such factors as persistence, absorption properties of the soil, soil organic matter, soil types, soil moisture, and cultivation. Herbicide rates may need to be adjusted on the basis of soil texture and type. As well as effects of soil on the performance of herbicides, there are converse effects of the herbicides on soil properties.... 2, record 5, English, - integrated%20weed%20management
