In south-western France, sunflowers are usually grown in short rotations and after a long fallow period during which soils left bare. This practice can favour diseases, caused by soilborne fungi, such as sunflower verticillium wilt (SVW), well nitrate leaching, both of decrease yields. Growing cover crops is an agroecological that could provide ecosystem services mitigate SVW. A Brassicaceae cr...

This study was carried out to determine some yield characteristics of Hungarian vetch varieties and evaluate them as bee pastures based on bee-plant relationship. Eight were used in the study. In Bingöl province, where research out, flowering started April 18. Counts 23 ended May 11. remained blooming for about three weeks province. An average 14.9 bees per m2 visited flower an 9.0 seconds. It ...

This paper aimed to evaluate the productivity of corn crop for silage, beans and straw production in different rotation systems with spring/summer fall/winter green manures cultivated under agroecological management. The experiment was implemented a rural property managed an system since 2009, 2017/18 2018 crops. experimental design used randomized blocks, five repetitions. treatments consisted...

Potato common scab causes significant economic losses worldwide, and current control methods remain ineffective. However, biological have been effective in controlling phytopathogens several other crops. Trichoderma spp. Bacillus subtilis are the most studied microorganisms agriculture for plant diseases. interactions between these agents organic matter present at cultivation site not extensive...

Common vetch (Vicia sativa subsp. sativa L.) is a self-pollinating annual forage legume with worldwide importance. Here, we investigate the optimal number of individuals that may represent the genetic diversity of a single population, using Start Codon Targeted (SCoT) markers. Two cultivated varieties and two wild accessions were evaluated using five SCoT primers, also testing different samplin...

The main goal of this study was to quantify within and between field variability in mapping agricultural crop types, their biophysical characteristics, and yield for precision farming applications using near-real-time and historical (archival) Landsat TM images. Data for 6 crops (wheat, barley, chickpea, lentil, vetch, and cumin) were gathered from a representative benchmark study area in the s...

Hairy vetch (Vicia villosa Roth) is a leguminous crop widely used as green manure and a cover crop in Japan. It exhibits strong weed-suppressing activity, high resistance to insect pests, and the ability to fix nitrogen through symbiotic interactions with soil bacteria known as rhizobia. Few studies have investigated the rhizobia that form nodules on hairy vetch in Japan, and the biological res...

In this study we tested whether legumes can improve the growth and N and S nutrition of rapeseed in an intercropping system and compared the effect of mixtures on legume N-fixation and soil N-resources. Rapeseed was cultivated in low N conditions in monocrops using one (R) or two plants (RR) per pot and in mixtures with lupine, clover or vetch. The R monocrop was the most relevant control, intr...
