Plant roots growing through soil typically encounter considerable structural heterogeneity, and local variations in soil dry bulk density. The way the in situ architecture of root systems of different species respond to such heterogeneity is poorly understood due to challenges in visualising roots growing in soil. The objective of this study was to visualise and quantify the impact of abrupt ch...

The objective of this paper is to evaluate the yield, quality and unit production cost broccoli grown under green manure, vermicompost chemical fertilization. For purpose, plants were cultivated as follows: (i) Chemical fertilization (CF), (ii) Vermicompost (V), (iii) (VeV) in common vetch land a pre-plant (iv) Vetch (Ve) pre-plant. Curd yield (g plant−1), SPAD, vitamin C (mg 100 g−1), total ph...

Vicia sativa L. (common vetch) is an annual legume species of high economic and ecological importance which characterized by nutritive value for animal feeding its ability to adapt various edaphic–climatic conditions. However, limited information available about genotypic environmental effects on agronomic, nutritional, antinutritional traits common vetch genotypes. Thus, in the present study, ...

Cover crops (CC) provide important ecosystem services that are demanded to achieve more sustainable agrosystems. However, the legacy effects of CC on microbial community structure and its interactions with subsequent cash (CaC) still poorly understood, especially when mixtures involved. In this work, five (3 monocultures 2 mixtures) were selected in an experiment under semi-controlled condition...

This study aimed to evaluate the impacts of cover crop intercropping and poultry manure on soil physical quality indices tung growth in a tung-based agroforestry system. Materials Methods: The two-year experiment was conducted during winter summer periods 2012/2013 2013/2014 growing seasons southern Brazil, randomized complete block design four replications. During periods, treatments consisted...

This paper aimed to evaluate the productivity of corn crop for silage, beans and straw production in different rotation systems with spring/summer fall/winter green manures cultivated under agroecological management. The experiment was implemented a rural property managed an system since 2009, 2017/18 2018 crops. experimental design used randomized blocks, five repetitions. treatments consisted...

Potato common scab causes significant economic losses worldwide, and current control methods remain ineffective. However, biological have been effective in controlling phytopathogens several other crops. Trichoderma spp. Bacillus subtilis are the most studied microorganisms agriculture for plant diseases. interactions between these agents organic matter present at cultivation site not extensive...

Intercropping, mixed cropping, and rotation are commonly applied some of the oldest crop production techniques to improve soil structure nitrogen status. While takes generally two-season with one triticeae legume, inter-and cropping place within same season. Among many advantages legume most important is sustainable use resources reduced input cost. Numerous studies evaluated effect inter -and ...
