Diversification of cereal-based rotations with soybean as a second crop

Description

Problem

Cereal crop rotation in Hungary is usually very simple, given that the economic return of new crops in the rotation is not guaranteed.

Solution

Soybean could provide a good income for organic farmers, whilst improving the diversity of the arable crop rotation and providing additional benefits.

Outcome

Farmers can use super early soybean varieties to produce soybean as a second crop in their current cereal based cropping system, limiting their economic risks.
