the transition from a conventional
cropping system to low -input sys-
tems.
In 1981, 3 lonktett'ii rotation
trials were set-up: (1) a- conven-
tional corn/soybean rotation. with
herbicides and N fertilizer as rec-
ommended by Penn State Univer-
sity. (2)4 low4nput livestock rota.

addition to corn and soybeans with _
cattle manure Its the source of
gen 'fertiliza. (3) a lOw-inpi.4 ca,11%
grain system similar to the other
low -input system but using legumes
for fertility. No pesticides or *
cial fertilizer's* used in the .2
low -
input systems.
Since 1985, the Mill $raiti yields
in the low -input systems ItaveUen.,
equal •th those of the conventional
system although during the first" 4
.yearsof the experimeit*, corn grain
yields in the ' low -input systems
were only 71% of the convend
coat .gran yields. Soybean); yields
have been similar throughout the
experiment.
Based on this long-term fanning
system trial, the researchers
made the following conclusions and
recommendations. "A favourable
transitiOn from input -intensive •
cropping to low -input. systems is. •
feasible, but only if crop rotations
- are used Which include crops that
demand less Notts* competitive
with weeds, such as snail- 'grain*

years.
