New SOHMACast Episode: Managing Healthy Soils in Annual Cropping Systems

The third episode of the third season of SOHMACast features researcher João de Andrade Bonetti from UNESP Botucatu. In this episode, the discussion focuses on the challenges and opportunities involved in managing healthy soils in annual crops such as soybeans, corn, and cotton.

Throughout the podcast, the conversation covers topics related to soil chemistry, biology, and physics—including conservation practices, crop rotation, integrated systems, increases in organic matter, and the influence of these combined factors on the resilience, productivity, and long-term stability of agricultural systems.

The discussion also addresses the efficient use of inputs, the impacts of regenerative practices, and the contribution of annual crops to carbon sequestration and climate-change mitigation.
