in order to study the effect of intercropping of corn with bean and bitter vetch and farmyard manure (fym) on corn nutrition, a factorial experiment was carried out on the basis of randomized complete blocks design with three replications. the factors were types of intercropping systems at levels of sole bean, bean+corn, sole bitter vetch, bitter vetch+corn, sole corn, and fym at levels of 0, 3...

Three experiments were conducted to evaluate the nutritional value of bitter vetch. Experiment 1 was conducted to determine the metabolisable energy content of bitter vetch. Sixteen adult Leghorn roosters were used. Forty grams of bitter vetch were precision-fed individually to 12 roosters. In addition, 4 birds were not fed and served as a control treatment in the measurement of metabolic fecal...

in order to evaluate forage quality in intercropping, two field experiments were carried out based on randomized complete block design with three replications at the agricultural research station, faculty of agriculture, university of tabriz, iran, in 2005-2006 and 2006-2007 growing seasons. two maize (zea mays l.) hybrids (sc704, sc301), vetch (vicia villosa), bitter vetch (vicia ervilia), ber...

The purpose of this factorial field experiment was to investigate the influence farming systems (FS) and intercropping patterns (IPs) on physiological aspects safflower bitter vetch. Treatments included high low-input various IPs that exchanged vetch with row ratios 2:2, 2:3, 2:4, 2:5, while sole cropping (SS) (SB) were used as control. highest grain yield both plants obtained from input system...

New discoveries of legumes in the lower Galilee at the prehistoric site of Ahihud in Israel shed light on early farming systems in the southern Levant. Radiocarbon dating of twelve legumes from pits and floors indicate that the farming of legumes was practiced in southern Levant as early as 10.240-10.200 (1σ) ago. The legumes were collected from pits and other domestic contexts dated to the Ear...

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...
