The restoration potential of Sweetgrass (Anthoxanthum nitens (Weber) Y. Schouten & Veldkamp) was evaluated through a field experiment conducted on Kanatsiohareke, a Mohawk farm, and at the LaFayette Experiment Station near Syracuse, New York. The effects of competition reduction and two cover crops on Sweetgrass reestablishment success were examined. Sweetgrass was planted under four treatments...

In this study we investigated the effect of maturity stage on chemical composition, in vitro dry matter digestibility (IVD) and volume of gas produced at 24 h (G24) of forages from Avena sativa L. (oats), Trifolium alexandrinum (berseem), Vicia sativa L. (vetch), Avena sativa-Vicia sativa (OV) and Avena sativaTrifolium alexandrinum (OB) mixtures collected at progressive morphological stages (S1...

this study was carried out to determine effects of phosphorus residual applied to wheat on vetch (vicia panonioca) growth, yields and some  soil  physical, chemical  properties in soil. the experiment was conducted with randomized completely block design in a field with three replications including four levels of p residual (applied for wheat p0, p15, p30, and p45 kg p2o5 in hectare) from tripl...

One of the principal aims of alternative cropping systems is to minimize excessive loss of N while maximizing N use efficiency and meeting crop N requirements. Many such cropping systems substitute intensive application of synthetic fertilizer with organic inputs, such as N2-fixing legumes. The effectiveness of legume residues as a N source for subsequent crops depends heavily on temporal N rel...

Abstract Zohary and Hopf coined the term ‘founder crops’ to refer a specific group of eight plants, namely three cereals (einkorn, emmer barley), four legumes (lentil, pea, bitter vetch chickpea), fibre/oil crop (flax), that founded early Neolithic agriculture in southwest Asia. considered these taxa as first cultivated domesticated species, well those agricultural communities exploited eventua...

to evaluate the yield and quality of barley (hordeum vulgare)–vetch (vicia desycarpa) intercropping, a series of experiments were conducted at the experimental field of the college of agriculture, university of tehran, in karaj (iran) from 2003 to 2005. the ex-periments were arranged in a randomized complete block with a split plot design and four replications. three levels (0, 45 and 90 kg n h...
