چکیده
GeorGieva, N., i. Nikolova, T. ZhelyaZkova, D. Pavlov and y. NayDeNova, 2011. Energy efficiency of spring vetch (Vicia sativa l.) cultivated for fresh biomass. Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 17: 612-720 Field experiment with spring vetch, cultivated for fresh biomass was conducted for establishing productivity, composition, nutritive value and energy efficiency under the influence of different growth regulators: Atonic 0.6 L.ha-1, Masterblend 1.6 kg.ha-1 and Confidor 70 VG 0.15 kg.ha-1 applied in budding; budding + flowering; flowering. Energy efficiency was calculated by balance method (energy input and output) by energy equivalents for all operations and energy value of the biomass calculated by composition and digestibility. Treatment of spring vetch with Atonic, Confidor and Masterblend had a positive effect and increased the yield of biomass and had no effect on chemical composition, nutritive and energy value of the vetch biomass. Energy equivalent of the examined growth regulators is very low 0.019 to 0.55 % from the total energy input, and has no essential effect on energy input in vetch cultivation. Treatment of spring vetch with combination Confidor + Masterblend or Confidor +Atonic increased energy output with about 28-29% and improved energy conversion, increasing the coefficient of energy efficiency with 24 to 26%.

Optimizing Sample Size to Assess the Genetic Diversity in Common Vetch (Vicia sativa L.) Populations Using Start Codon Targeted (SCoT) Markers.
Common vetch (Vicia sativa subsp. sativa L.) is a self-pollinating annual forage legume with worldwide importance. Here, we investigate the optimal number of individuals that may represent the genetic diversity of a single population, using Start Codon Targeted (SCoT) markers. Two cultivated varieties and two wild accessions were evaluated using five SCoT primers, also testing different samplin...
متن کاملThe activity and location of cathepsin D inhibitor in seeds of common vetch (Vicia sativa L.).
The activity of cathepsin D inhibitor is markedly higher in common vetch seed coat than in embryo cotyledons. The occurrence of considerable amounts of the inhibitor in the seed coat of vetch was confirmed by the fluorescent microscopic technique, with the use of fluorescein-marked cathepsin D.
متن کاملYields and chemical composition of different parts of the common vetch at flowering and at two seed filling stages
In annual forage legumes such as the common vetch (Vicia sativa L.), in which the pods represent a substantial proportion of the total biomass, the optimum harvesting stage may not adjust to the classical model of decreasing nutritive value after flowering. The effect of harvest time on the yield of the main chemical components of common vetch was evaluated under field conditions typical of the...
متن کاملCrude protein fractions in common vetch (Vicia sativa L.) fresh forage during pod filling.
Crude protein (CP) of forages can be separated into fractions of differentiated abilities to provide available amino acids in the lower gut of ruminants. This knowledge is critical to develop feeding systems and to predict animal responses. We have measured during two growing seasons (1996 to 1997 and 1997 to 1998) the CP fractions of common vetch fresh forage with the objective being to assess...
متن کاملTranscriptome Analysis of Two Vicia sativa Subspecies: Mining Molecular Markers to Enhance Genomic Resources for Vetch Improvement
The vetch (Vicia sativa) is one of the most important annual forage legumes globally due to its multiple uses and high nutritional content. Despite these agronomical benefits, many drawbacks, including cyano-alanine toxin, has reduced the agronomic value of vetch varieties. Here, we used 454 technology to sequence the two V. sativa subspecies (ssp. sativa and ssp. nigra) to enrich functional in...
