Vicia sativa L. (common vetch) is an annual legume species of high economic and ecological importance which characterized by nutritive value for animal feeding its ability to adapt various edaphic–climatic conditions. However, limited information available about genotypic environmental effects on agronomic, nutritional, antinutritional traits common vetch genotypes. Thus, in the present study, ...

One of the principal aims of alternative cropping systems is to minimize excessive loss of N while maximizing N use efficiency and meeting crop N requirements. Many such cropping systems substitute intensive application of synthetic fertilizer with organic inputs, such as N2-fixing legumes. The effectiveness of legume residues as a N source for subsequent crops depends heavily on temporal N rel...
