“…Legumes in general are the primary food source in human nutrition and animal feeding, while also playing a key role in crop rotation. Not only do they improve soil fertility but also reduce weeds, pests, and pathogens [4]. Previous studies [5,6] have demonstrated that V. faba L. improves the physical conditions and biodiversity of soil, boosts the immobilization of phosphorus, and increases the nitrogen content of the soil through biofixation.…”

The aim of this study was to assess how soil use and the cultivation of Triticum aestivum spp. vulgare L. (Sw), Triticum aestivum spp. spelta L. (Ww), Zea mays L. (M), and Brassica napus L. (Wr) impacts soil microbiota. This study consisted of a pot experiment over 120 days, until Vicia faba spp. minor seeds and pods reached the developmental stage of growth. This study showed that T. aestivum spp. vulgare L. grown in the soil sown with faba beans had a beneficial effect on the development of organotrophic bacteria, actinobacteria, and fungi. Regardless of the previous crop and soil cultivation method, r-strategists were found among the organotrophic bacteria and fungi, whereas K-strategists were found among the actinobacteria. All soils sown with faba beans were primarily colonized by bacteria belonging to the phylum Actinobacteriota (represented by the genus Cellulosimicrobium) and fungi belonging to the phylum Ascomycota. In the soil sown with field faba beans from the cultivation of Sw and Wr, the soil was dominated by Mortierella genus fungi; that of Ww was dominated by Cladosporium, and that of M was dominated by Alternaria. The results of this study provide new insights into the influence of previous crops and further cropping with faba bean on the quantitative and qualitative composition of the soil microbiota.

“…Agronomic strategies such as choosing the optimal row spacing and sowing density of legumes, including lupine, are crucial to increasing crop productivity [19]. Inter-row width and plant sowing density are among the main factors determining legume seed yield and chemical composition [20][21][22]. Optimal plant density is important because it determines not only the course of plant vegetation, growth, yield, and seed quality but also affects the ability to compete with weeds and absorb light in the process of photosynthesis.…”

The use of appropriate plant spacing in the canopy is an important and cost-free agrotechnical factor for increasing seed yield. Proper row spacing and sowing density are important in maintaining adequate plant light, ensuring good physiological processes, and influencing the nutritional status of plants. As a consequence, this leads to better plant productivity while maintaining economic profitability. A four-year field experiment with white lupine was conducted in 2016–2019 at the Experimental Station for Cultivation Assessment in Przecław in southeastern Poland. The factors of the experiment were different row spacing (15 and 30 cm) and sowing density (60, 75, and 90 pcs m−2). Row spacing and sowing density had no significant effect on the yield obtained, the number of pods per plant, and the weight of 1000 seeds of white lupine. There was also no effect of experimental factors on nodulation and chlorophyll fluorescence parameters (Fv/Fm, Fv/F0, PI, and RC/R). The use of wider row spacing (30 cm) and the lowest sowing density (60 pcs m−2) resulted in the highest chlorophyll content. For the LAI index, the highest value was found at a row spacing of 15 cm. However, lower plant density per unit area had an effect on increasing the number of seeds per pod and seed weight per plant, which was associated with better conditions for plant growth. It was shown that greater competition between lupine plants in the canopy increased the height of the first pod set without affecting their height.

Proper crop rotation determines soil fecundity, which is pertinent for successor crops. With this problem in mind, a study was performed to evaluate the interference of spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L. subsp. aestivum), winter wheat (T. aestivum L. subsp. aestivum), maize (Zea mays L.), and winter rape (Brassica napus L.) as forecrops on the increase in faba bean (Vicia faba L.) and the biochemical and physicochemical properties of the soil. Tests with faba bean were performed in pots in the vegetation hall. The pots were filled with soil from under the abovementioned four plant species, and faba bean was grown. Soil unsown with faba bean was also tested to measure the rhizosphere effect. At the beginning of the experiment, and after its completion, enzymatic and physicochemical analyses of the soil were performed. On the 120th day of the study, faba bean was harvested and biometry was performed. The forecrop substantially influenced the biometric features of the faba bean and the biochemical activity of the soil. Faba beans grown in soil under spring wheat and winter wheat had the highest seed yield, while those grown in soil under the winter rape had the lowest yield. The geometric mean of the enzyme activity index was only significantly positively correlated with the number of faba bean seeds and the soil pH, as well as with the seed dry matter yield and the faba bean plant height. Faba bean cultivation increased the soil biochemical activity. The values of the biochemical and physicochemical parameters of the unsown soil were lower compared to the soil sown with faba bean. The conducted research can help to estimate the changes occurring in arable soils and maintain their stability thanks to the use of appropriate bioindicators, which are the soil enzymes. Moreover, the use of a diversified crop rotation in soil cultivation can provide a lot of information about its function, which can ultimately be used for planning the plant rotation, leading to the improvement of the soil structure and fertility, as well as its protection.
