Dry matter and grain productions depend on the ability of crops to capture resources. Productivity of resourses is defined based on the amount of grain or dry matter produced per unit of available resource (solar radiation or rainfall) during the year. Our main objective was to evaluate the effect of different crop sequences on the productivity of water (WP) and radiation (RP) resources for grain production and total dry matter (DM). The trial was carried out during 2014/15 and 2015/16. Nine sequences were established, including different cultures and fertilization doses with a 25, 50 or 75 % -variable-participation of grasses. Increases of the order of 125 and 125 % were determined in WP, and of 141 and 142 % for RP for grain and DM respectively, in the sequence b/fc-w/s respect v/s-w/s (b: barley; w: wheat; s: soybean; v: vicia; fc: fertilized corn). The results showed that the sequences of crops that included higher percentage of grasses and the adequate fertilization, increased water and radiation efficiency and productivity, achieving a greater contribution of carbon from crop residues.
