Hairy vetch (Vicia sativa L.) succeeded by corn (Zea mays L.)or grain sorghum (Sorghumbicolor L. Moench) were seeded insplit plots randomized within whole plots of no-tillage versus conventional tillage over four growing seasons (1980-83).

In this study we tested whether legumes can improve the growth and N and S nutrition of rapeseed in an intercropping system and compared the effect of mixtures on legume N-fixation and soil N-resources. Rapeseed was cultivated in low N conditions in monocrops using one (R) or two plants (RR) per pot and in mixtures with lupine, clover or vetch. The R monocrop was the most relevant control, intr...
