The study was conducted between 2015-2017 at Tekirda? Nam?k Kemal University, Agriculture Faculty, Field Crops Department, Research and Experimental Area Atatürk Soil, Water Agricultural Meteorology Institute (K?rklareli) in randomized block design with three replications. Five Hungarian vetch genotypes (cv. Egebeyaz? cv. Sar?efe, 47.1, 47.2, 56.3 lines) were used as material. Plant height (cm)...

Although bell bean is a true vetch, it differs greatly from other vetches with its strong upright growth. It also has a relatively shallow, thick taproot, which may be useful for opening up heavy soils. Bell bean is often used in mixes with vetches, peas, or cereals. Because of its height and because it does not tolerate close mowing, it is often omitted from mixes in frost-prone areas. Bell be...

A common crop rotation in the west Iran is wheat-fallow-corn. The fallow period after wheat harvest (during fall and winter) can lead to soil erosion, nutrient losses (e.g. nitrate leaching) and offsite movement of pesticides. This period is an ideal time to establish a cover crop. In order to investigate the effects of different autumn-bseeded cover crops on subsequent irrigated corn response ...

In field experiments (1993–1998) using an annual self-pollinated vetch species, Vicia angustifolia, the effects of pre-dispersal seed predators (pre-DSPs) on plant performance and demography were studied. Insect exclusion by insecticides, vegetation perturbation at the start of the experiment by removing the top soil layer, and sowing extra seeds were applied at one site (Site 1) on 32 plots, a...

Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) is an important grain legume with high protein content (approximately 25–30%) and nutritional value. It broadly cultivated in temperate areas both for human consumption as animal feed. According to FAOSTAT (2020), the total area of reached approximately 2.5 million ha, yielding more than 4.5 tons. The characterization genetic diversity parameter biodiversity studies, g...
