“…M. sativa has been used for phytoremediation of soils polluted with heavy metals, petroleum hydrocarbons as well as aromatic hydrocarbons. M. sativa requires minimal maintenance (no annual plowing and seeding) and increases fixed nitrogen which can decrease oxidative stress caused by heavy metal accumulation (Jeder et al, 2021). Moreover, Cui et al (2018) experiment proved that the intercropping of ryegrass and alfalfa can enhance the growth of plants and increases the biomass of plants in heavy metal-contaminated soil.…”

The growing threats facing both food security and the environment require a sustainable development. The need for sustainable agricultural alternative systems is prompted by economic, environmental and biological perspectives. Producers require cultivation methods that minimize environmental damage while simultaneously preserving and improving farm profitability. One of the key solutions is intercropping. Which is a cropping system where the crop can coexist in the same soil and can be irrigated simultaneously at the same time. It is used to improve crop yields, land use rates, as well as to reduce the barriers towards sustainable cultivation and the development of disease and insect pests as well as control weed growth. Besides, intercropping of legumes in a cropping system provides advantages for non-legumes due to improved nutrient distribution, to improved soil biology and to enhanced use of available resources. The biological fixation of nitrogen by legume crops makes intercropping legumes, especially alfalfa, a cost-effective solution to the problem of using artificial fertilizers. Alfalfa intercropping does not only meet the requirements of food security and forage needs, but also preserves the eco-environment, which has made this cultivation model a very promising one for agricultural development under environmental constraints.

“…Intercropping is an old cropping practice, possibly as old as the settled agriculture [10]. Legumes in symbiosis for nitrogen fixing with rhizobia provide beneficial input for complimentary plant [11]. When legume and grass forage plants are grown in a mixture that is compatible with climate and growth conditions, the roughage obtained is much more beneficial for animal husbandry.…”

Considering the impact of producing and using nitrogen-based fertilizer on the environment, as well as the economic cost of nitrogen-based fertilizer application, growing high-protein grass such as Italian ryegrass mixed with berseem clover as an alternative for sustainable production could be an option. This study was carried out in 2020 to determine the effects of different nitrogen doses and berseem clover mixtures on the yield and quality of Italian ryegrass in Konya ecological conditions. Within the scope of the study, different nitrogen doses (0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 g m -2 as pure substance) and different mixtures of Italian ryegrass + berseem clover (monoculture Italian ryegrass, 75% + 25%, 50% + 50% and 25% + 75%) were conducted as two separate trials. As a result, it was found that as the amount of nitrogen given in Italian ryegrass increased, yield and quality increased, and in the mixtures, yield and quality increased due to the increase in the ratio of berseem clover. In Konya conditions, we can recommend a nitrogen dose of 15-20 g m -2 for Italian ryegrass, and 25% + 75% for mixtures of Italian ryegrass and berseem clover. In order to get high green grass yield from Italian ryegrass, it would be more appropriate to grow it in a mixture with berseem clover and to increase the ratio of berseem clover in the mixture instead of fertilizing with high doses of nitrogen.
