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...

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...

The research aimed to compare the yields and yield components of mixtures oats with common vetch grown for seeds in organic conventional farming systems. Moreover, selection oat cultivars mixture its performance a crop rotation experiment different growing years was analyzed. Additionally, leaf area index (LAI) relative content chlorophyll (SPAD) were assessed. field four-field or systems carri...

Associated grass-legume pastures have advantages over grass monoculture; in order to evaluate them the association of black oat (Avena strigosa Schreb) with winter vetch (Vicia villosa Roth) was analysed. The objective study forage yield, botanical, morphological, and chemical composition monoculture vetch, at different crop heights residual stubble heights. Eighteen treatments were evaluated r...

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, ...

Grass and legume mixtures work well, but there are no data on the mixed planting of desho grass (Pennisetum glaucifolium) Vicia species. A study was conducted to investigate whether forage dry matter yield (DMY) quality can be improved by growing species in with grass. The experimental layout followed a randomized complete block design four replications, where treatments consisted pure stands t...
