Crop yield mainly depends on environment and cultivation practices that vary according to a growing environment. However, an oat (Avena sativa L.)-common vetch (Vicia L.) intercrop system has not been fully developed in the agro-pastoral ecotone of Inner Mongolia, China. This study evaluated effects seven treatments, including five oat-common intercropping patterns, sole oat, quality performanc...

This project was designed to produce a nourishing date bar with commercial value especially for school going children to meet their body development requirements. Protein level of date bars was optimized using response surface methodology (RSM). Economical and underutilized sources, that is, whey protein concentrate and vetch protein isolates, were explored for protein supplementation. Fourteen...

Weeds may be suppressed by winter cover crops and the use of organic herbicides such as vinegar. Black oat (Avena strigosa) and hairy vetch (Vicia villosa) winter cover crops were planted for 2 years as part of a sustainable production system for cotton in the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas, and were till-killed each spring prior to cotton planting. Palmer amaranth (Amaranthus palmeri), commo...

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...

This research aimed to determine the effects of different cover crops and application ofbio-fertilizer on dynamic of nitrogen in the soil and sweet maize yield. Also, we evaluated theeffect of fall–winter species (common vetch, field pea, winter oats, fodder kale) and a mixtureof vetch and field pea with oats used as cover crops, as such as dead organic mulch andtraditional variant, without cov...

Aim of study: To evaluate the performance beef calves fed black oat and Italian ryegrass pasture seeded with several different seeding rates (SR) common vetch in a crop-livestock integrated system.Area The experiment was carried out Dois Vizinhos city, Paraná, Brazil.Material methods: An area 8.3 ha used, which divided into 11 paddocks, 0.75 each. Nellore (n = 22), 7 ± 2 months old initial body...

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...
