Regenerative Agronomic Practices in Cereal Production: Implications for Soil Health, Disease Management, Water-Use Efficiency, and Yield Stability

#342 | Source: MDPI Agriculture | Published on August 19th, 2026

The effects of regenerative practices are strongly dependent on soil type, climate, nitrogen balance, pest pressure, and the extent of adoption of regenerative practices. Risks may arise during the transition period, including yield declines, nitrogen immobilization, weed infestation, and increased disease pressure.

Abstract

Cereal production is increasingly constrained by soil degradation, water scarcity, climate variability, and rising disease and weed pressure.
