The Peruvian Altiplano presents increasing fertility losses, being susceptible to natural erosion. For many years, conventional agricultural management has generated losses of the topsoil and deterioration soil properties, impacting in crop yields deepening degradation this vulnerable ecosystem. aim research was determine benefits cover crops against erosion, health quinoa yield. trial carried ...

Current vegetable production systems use polyethylene (plastic) mulch and require multiple applications of agrochemicals. During rain events, runoff from vegetable production is enhanced because 50 to 75% of the field is covered with an impervious surface. This study was conducted to quantify off-site movement of soil and pesticides with runoff from tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) plots ...

some growth parameters of pea (cv. pleven 4) and vetch (cv. obrazets 666) after treatment with organic fertilizer were studied in a field trial carried out at the institute of forage crops, pleven, bulgaria. humustim as organic fertilizer was applied through presowing treatment of seeds, treatment during vegetation and combination between both, at different doses. ratios of aboveground weight t...

The economic return from cereal or cereal/vetch crops was determined using previously published and new agronomic herbage quality data experiments conducted at four sites across southern New South Wales, Australia, over years (2008 to 2011), evaluate the parameters of two wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), barley (Hordeum vulgare oat (Avena sativa one triticale (x Triticosecale) variety, grown as mo...

introduction crop sequencing with a particular arrangement in a 2-3 or more yearly period is known as crop rotation. considering crop diversity and soil fertility crop rotation is essential because it prevents soil degradation which is a result of sequential cultivation of one crop causing nutrients imbalance, exudation of different compounds and antibiotics from crop roots. determining crops s...

Materials and methods Samples of A. pisum were collected from natural populations on vetch or white clover, preserved in acetone, and subjected to DNA extraction individually. At each locality, 20 aphids were subjected to specific PCR detection of the endosymbionts as described (S1). The aphid strain TUt, naturally infected with PAUS, was derived from a parthenogenetic female collected on white...

The primary purpose of this study was to explore yield stability common vetch varieties based on the index, with a specific aim exploring variety behavior regarding legumes under both conventional and low-input cultivation systems. Six (Vicia sativa L.), namely, cv. Filippos, Omiros, Alexandros, Tempi, Zefyros Pigasos, were used. conducted using strip-plot design six randomized within each plot...
