Abstract: Long fallow, once a common management practice in the low-rainfall of Mediterranean-type environments, may provide growers with an opportunity to switch cropping sequence and reduce the risk of yield and income losses during the recent drought period. However, such benefits are usually not uniform across a spatially variable environment. It is important to identify where long fallow would have a role in increasing crop yield and economic return.
