The aim was to provide the insight into the biology of C. albicans influenced by undescribed yet properties of saponin-rich (80%-98%) fractions (SAPFs), isolated from extracts of Trifolium alexandrinum, T. incarnatum, T. resupinatum var. resupinatum aerial parts. Their concentrations below 0.5 mg/mL were arbitrarily considered as subMICs for C. albicans ATCC 10231 and were further used. SAPFs a...

Crimson clover (Trifolium incarnatum L. convar. Inkara) seeds were imbibed with water solution of various pH values (4, 5, 6 and 7) at ambiental temperatures (10, 15 22 °C) the aim to reveal treatments effects on seed (imbibition, germination energy, electric conductivity) seedling traits (stem, root total length). Seeds in a laboratory by standard method for germination. When averaged over inq...

The inclusion of undersown cover crops in crop rotations and the use biopesticides are essential for long-term sustainability agroecosystem organic farming. We hypothesized that (crimson (incarnate) clover (Trifolium incarnatum Broth.), hairy (winter) vetch (Vicia villosa Roth.), perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.), winter rye (Secale cereale L.)) likely to have a positive impact on soil agr...

In order to study the effects of salinity stress on growth indices of three clover species including, Trifolium resupinatum, T. alexandrinum, and T. incarnatum, an experiment was conducted as factorial based on a completely randomized design arrangement with three replications. Factors included seven levels of salinity stress (0, 41, 82, 123, 164, 205, and 246 mM) and three clover species. Diff...

Legumes provide multiple ecosystem services in agricultural systems. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the influence different legumes through C rhizodeposition on dynamics C, N and P soil microbial communities’ resource requirements. pea (Pisum sativum L.), faba bean (Vicia white clover (Trifolium repens crimson incarnatum L.) non-legume wheat (Triticum aestivum grown pots. Carbon ...

The effects of interand intraspecific interference on size hierarchies (size inequalities) were investigated in populations of the annual plants Trifolium incarnatum and Lollurn mult~florurn. Variables experimentally manipulated included plant density, species proportions, soil fertility. and spatial pattern of plantings. Densities were below those for extensive density-dependent mortality. Siz...

Nitrogen (N) transfer is well documented in legume-cereal intercropping but this is less often reported for legume-Brassica intercrops even though Brassica crops require higher levels of N fertilizers. The present study was carried out to quantify N transfer from legumes (Lupinus albus L., Trifolium incarnatum L. or Vicia sativa L.) to rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) using the split-root (15)N-lab...
