Sciences, University of East Anglia, Norwich NR4 7TJ, UK 2 School of Biological Analysis of the nodulation characteristics of transposon-induced mutants of Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viciae revealed that nodO and the closely-linked rhi genes contribute t o nodulation of peas (Pisum sativum) and the vetch Vicia hirsuta. Although mutation of nodO alone had no significant effect on nodulation of ...

Here, we present research to overcome a current limitation of temperate grassland systems provide home-grown, early season protein for lactating ewes—a period high demand in these systems. Traditionally used as forage crop, there is renewed interest common vetch (Vicia sativa) due its ability grow during low temperatures over-winter compared other legumes. We hypothesised that would support the...

polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (pahs) are one of the most important organic pollutants frequently found in the environment. in this experiment, the effect of phytoremediation as a cost effective method was studied on the concentration of anthracene (c14h10) which is one of pahs. the effect of sorghum (v1), hairy vetch (v2) and oat (v3) was studied under four concentrations of anthracene (s1, ...

Intercropping, mixed cropping, and rotation are commonly applied some of the oldest crop production techniques to improve soil structure nitrogen status. While takes generally two-season with one triticeae legume, inter-and cropping place within same season. Among many advantages legume most important is sustainable use resources reduced input cost. Numerous studies evaluated effect inter -and ...

The present experiment was conducted to study diet digestibility, feed intake, animal performance and carcass characteristics of growing dairy bulls offered diets based on whole-crop barley, a mixture of whole-crop barley and hairy vetch (Vicia villosa Roth.) or a mixture of whole-crop wheat and hairy vetch relative to moderate digestible grass silage-based diet. The feeding experiment with 24 ...
