in order to evaluate the effect of cover crops and mulch management on yield and yield components of safflower (carthamus tinctorius l.), a study was conducted as split-plot based on a complete randomized block design with four replications during 2008-2009. the mulch managements as main factor were consisted of three levels including incorporation of cover crops with soil, harvesting + removin...

abstract petroleum pollution is one of the most common and dangerous pollutions that is due to petroleum industries such as refineries, and consequently of oil pipes and tanks leak causing environmental pollutions. one of the newest born technologies in this area is phytoremediation, in which plants are used for decreasing of petroleum pollution. this technology is used for remediation of soil,...

Aim of the study: To evaluate consequences for pork quality traits replacing soybean meal with Narbon vetch in pig diets.Area Castilla-Leon, Spain.Material and methods: 48 Duroc × Iberian barrows were fed diets 0% (V0), 5% (V5), 10% (V10) 20% (V20) inclusion vetch. Pork investigated 1) intramuscular fat, protein moisture content fresh loin, 2) fatty acid composition subcutaneous 3) sensory attr...

Mixed cropping systems can constitute important agroecological adaptation strategies for enhancing crop growth and productivity in view of climate change, while reducing the need synthetic fertilizers providing ecosystem services. The aim this study was to investigate growth, competitiveness, two forage mixtures combining triticale (X triticosecale Wittmack) common vetch (Vicia sativa L.), fenu...

There are many different practices that contribute to conservation biological control, but little is known about their complementarity. We tested the effects of providing food and alternative hosts parasitoids by intercropping a plum orchard with companion plants. Oats vetch were intercropped into either as single-species (oats or vetch) two-species combined) intercrops within an inter-row. The...

leach into groundwater after crop harvest in the fall, and depending on the species, can sequester atmospheric C Biculture legume–cereal cover cropping may enhance aboveand and/or N, thereby reducing the amount of N fertilizer belowground biomass yields and C and N contents. The increase in C and N supply to the soil has the potential to improve soil quality required for summer crops (Hargrove,...

due to the need to find new protein sources with considering the fact that the bitter vetch seed has high levels of protein content, physicochemical and mechanical properties of bitter vetch seed and functional properties of its flour were evaluated in this study. the effects of altering the ph on protein solubility, foaming capacity, foaming stability, emulsion capacity and emulsion stability ...
