Figure 2: Comparison of winter wheat (a) and summer maize (b) yields from 2007 to 2014 between Biodiversity Management of Organic Farming (BMOF) and chemical farming (CF).
From: Biodiversity management of organic farming enhances agricultural sustainability
The different footnote symbols represent significant difference (DUNCAN test, **extremely striking contrast (P < 0.01); *significant difference (P < 0.05)). In the organic transition period (2007–2009), crops yield of BMOF was lower than CF. However, BMOF yields got a gradual but stable increase both in winter wheat and summer maize after transition period and better performed in the later years than CF.
