چکیده
Abstract Relay intercropping of subsidiary legumes with durum wheat (living mulch) can be a viable option to support ecological weed control and optimize nutrient cycling in cereal-based cropping systems. However, the lack knowledge on suitable legume species is often identified as main bottleneck for successful application living mulches. This study aimed evaluate suitability 12 different relay two contrasting Mediterranean systems respectively characterized by low-input integrated management. Each was monitored from undersowing until following spring we compared direct drilling broadcast sowing legumes. None undersown showed negative effect grain yield. proved an effective solution weeds before after harvest, provided are chosen. Suitable reduced biomass up 90% during 94% spring. On contrary, such T r i f o l u m resupinatum , V c villosa M e d g truncatula scutellata boosted growth comparison control. According performance legumes, sativa repens lupulina had most characteristics at Ravenna site, highly productive region whereas H y s coronarium subterraneum performed better system near Pisa, where yields generally lower. first time that diversity tested same experiment under diversified environmental management conditions.

Grain legume–cereal intercropping: The practical application of diversity, competition and facilitation in arable and organic cropping systems
Intercropping is the simultaneous cultivation of more than one crop species on the same piece of land and is regarded as the practical application of basic ecological principles such as diversity, competition and facilitation. Field experiments were carried out on a sandy loam soil and a sandy soil in Denmark over three consecutive cropping seasons including dual grain legume (pea, faba bean an...
متن کاملLegume-Cereal Intercropping Improves Forage Yield, Quality and Degradability.
Intercropping legume with cereal is an extensively applied planting pattern in crop cultivation. However, forage potential and the degradability of harvested mixtures from intercropping system remain unclear. To investigate the feasibility of applying an intercropping system as a forage supply source to ruminants, two consecutive experiments (experiments 1 and 2) involving a field cultivation t...
متن کاملEffects of Shade on Nitrogen and Phosphorus Acquisition in Cereal-Legume Intercropping Systems
With increasing economic and environmental costs associated with fertilizer use, the need for low-input agroecological systems is on the rise. It is well documented that intercropping legumes can increase the supply of nutrients, through N2-fixation and P mobilization. Concurrently, the integration of trees in the agricultural landscape shows increasing evidence of nutrient inputs through effic...
متن کاملSoil Chemical Property Changes in Eggplant/Garlic Relay Intercropping Systems under Continuous Cropping
Soil sickness is a critical problem for eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) under continuous cropping that affects sustainable eggplant production. Relay intercropping is a significant technique on promoting soil quality, improving eco-environment, and raising output. Field experiments were conducted from September 2010 to November 2012 in northwest China to determine the effects of relay intercrop...
