Vicilin and legumin, the storage globulins of mature dry vetch (Vicia sativa L.) seeds, are found in protein bodies which are present not only in the cotyledons, but also in the radicle, axis and shoot (together, for reasons of simplicity, here called axis). When at 24 h after the start of imbibition (hai) the radicle breaks through the seed coat a major part of the globulins in the axis has al...

In temperate climate zones, long periods without rainfall or with excessive are common during sowing and the initial vegetation of a catch crop. These can result in poor emergence and/or low yields. The study aimed to determine influence depth furrow crops on soil moisture immediate vicinity seeds sown (1), dynamics germination plant (2), biomass yield (3). Three depths (4–5 cm FS-S, 6–7 FS-M, ...

Cover crops (CC) are an important low-input strategy in sustainable agricultural systems. The impact of different CC (common vetch, field pea, winter oats, fodder kale, common vetch + oats and pea oats), organic mulch, control treatment-fallow, bio-fertilizer (BF) application, on yield quality sweet maize kernel was evaluated. biomass higher mixtures: as well kale. Kernel its chemical compositi...

Agricultural lands for the production of forage crops in area Tuzla canton are limited. The settlement needs cattle feed each and climate zone used types varieties that tolerate restrictions on land climate. voluminous pure culture mixtures. In our not sufficiently advanced species, particular mixtures legumes (vetch fodder peas) with grains quality (green, silage, hay), although there very fav...

In two experiments we evaluated the effect of water and acetic acid soaking on ME, apparent amino acid (AA) availability, and true AA availability of vetch (V) and ervil (E) seeds. In Experiment 1, the feedstuffs were untreated (U) V or coarsely ground V soaked in water (1:10, wt/vol) at 40 C for 72 h with a water change every 12 h (40WV), vetch soaked in 1% acetic acid for 24 h at 40 C (40AAV)...

Cys proteinases play important roles in plant cell development and senescence. A cDNA, AsNODf32, obtained by differential screening of a nodule cDNA library of the leguminous plant Chinese milk vetch (Astragalus sinicus), represents a nodule-specific Cys proteinase similar to that reported for the actinorhizal Alnus glutinosa-Flankia symbiosis. A characteristic feature of this proteinase is the...

Harvester ants often selectively forage seeds, causing these to be viewed as pests in agricultural areas where they may on crop seeds. While little research has been done harvester ant preferences for cover grower observations the Lower Rio Grande Valley (LRGV) suggest that remove seeds before germination. We examined red (Pogonomyrmex barbatus F. Smith) (fescue, oat, sunn hemp, radish, vetch, ...

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...
