This is an open access article under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs License.Cereal crops are frequently rotated with broadleaf crops to achieve the benefits associated with crop diversification. However, broadleaf crops often fail in Mediterranean drylands due to their lower adaptation to drought. Alternative cereal crops such as triticale (×Triticosecale Wittmack) and oat (Avena sativa L.) can help diversify drylands in the Ebro valley, dominated by barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) and wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivation. A 6-year field experiment was conducted with five crop sequences under no-tillage: triticale–wheat–barley (TWB), oat–wheat–barley (OWB), fallow–wheat–barley, monocrop wheat, and monocrop barley. Wheat and barley grain yield, N use efficiency, and water use efficiency responses were evaluated, and economic analyses of the whole sequences were performed. Oat increased subsequent wheat yields by 15% and barley yields by 12% (p < 0.001) compared to monocropping. Similar water and N availability at sowing suggest additional synergies in an OWB rotation (possibly pest reduction), contributing to the yield increase of both crops. However, this rotation was less profitable than a TWB rotation (p = 0.002) due to the limited adaptation of oat to Mediterranean settings. Long fallowing lacked consistent benefits in water and N availability for subsequent crops. This practice protects farmers from economic losses in low-yielding seasons, but there is an associated opportunity cost in favorable years. The introduction of alternative cereal crops has demonstrated benefits for wheat and barley production, although greater understanding of the synergistic mechanisms involved is essential to ascertain whether resource efficiency is maintained beyond the studied timeframe.This research work was financially supported by the Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación, Spanish National Research Agency of Spain (projects AGL 2007-66320-C02, AGL 2010-22050-C03, AGL 2013-49062-C4, AGL 2017-84529-C3-3-R). Also, part of the final analysis received the financial funding by the Partnership of Research and Innovation in the Mediterranean Area (PRIMA), as part of the research project “Research-based participatory approaches for adopting Conservation Agriculture in the Mediterranean Area (CAMA)” (Grant Agreement 1912).
