Response of Field Pea and Common Vetch, Grown as a Catch Crop, on the Sowing Method

In temperate climate zones, long periods without rainfall or with excessive are common during sowing and the initial vegetation of a catch crop. These can result in poor emergence and/or low yields. The study aimed to determine influence depth furrow crops on soil moisture immediate vicinity seeds sown (1), dynamics germination plant (2), biomass yield (3). Three depths (4–5 cm FS-S, 6–7 FS-M, 8–9 FS-D) were tested compared traditional (TS) cultivation field pea spring vetch crops. High amounts precipitation stated period, especially years 2016 2017. Furrow enabled placing layers characterized by higher content than sowing. method did not significantly affect density any three study. Field turned out be more valuable species for conditions precipitation. This produced greater above-ground dry matter total vetch. crop conditions.
