“…In these studies, the highest vetch ratio was obtained using vetch at a rate of 70% or higher in the harvested herbage (Albayrak et al 2004;Kilavuz 2006;Pinar 2007;Nizam et al 2007;Ozel 2010;Tas 2010). In addition to these studies, while Yolcu et al (2009) found the average vetch rate as 34% in different HV-cereal mixtures; Gunduz (2010), and Orak and Nizam (2012) found rates of 16% and 42%, respectively, in a 50%HV+50%cereal mixture; Geren et al (2003) found a vetch rate of 85% in a 50%vetch+50%AR mixture; Albayrak et al (2004) found a rate of 66% in a different mixture ratio of HV+triticosecale; and Bedir (2010) observed a rate of 14% in different HV+barley mixtures. Similarly, Lithourgidis et al (2006) reported different legume ratios in various intercropping systems.…”

“…While several researchers reported the highest green herbage and hay yields of HV mixtures as 66%-87.5% (Albayrak et al 2004;Yolcu et al 2009;Budak et al 2011;Koc et al 2013), others reported the highest values for equivalent rate mixtures (50%-50%) (Karadag and Buyukburc 2004;Gunduz 2010;Aksoy and Nursoy 2010;Nadeem et al 2010). Contrary to other researches, Balabanli and Turk (2006), Tuna and Orak (2007), and Bedir (2010) reported the highest yield values for cereals mixture rates of 75%-80%.…”

“…In these studies (Albayrak et al 2004;Lithourgidis et al 2006;Pinar 2007;Ozel 2010), increasing the ratio of those vetches whose forage quality was higher in the mixtures, increased the both forage yield and nutrient content, while some researchers reported the opposite findings; that increasing rate of the cereal/grass whose dry matter content was higher, resulted in a higher forage yield, but lower forage quality (Orak and Uygun 1996;Balabanli and Turk 2006;Tuna and Orak 2007;Dhima et al 2007;Gunduz 2010;Bedir 2010). Moreover, the optimal forage yield and CP contents were obtained when the legume and cereal ratio was equal in the mixture (Basbag et al 1999).…”

“…In vetch mixtures with cereals or grasses, it is necessary to know the ratios of the vetch and cereal/grass species (Albayrak et al 2004;Balabanli and Turk 2006), because it affects the growth rate of the individual species in the mixtures as well as the forage yield and quality (Lithourgidis et al 2006;Lauk and Lauk 2009). In the mixtures, for example, an increased proportion of the cereal in its mixture with vetch significantly decreases the stand lodging, and has a positive influence on the forage yield, but the forage nutrient is of a poorer quality (Karagic et al 2012), because a high cereal ratio in the botanic composition of legume+cereal mixtures causes low protein.…”

According to the mean of 2 years, the different mixture ratios and row spacings had a statistically significant effect on all of the properties. At the end of the research, among the different mixture ratios and row spacing interactions, the highest green herbage yield (33.4 t ha -1 ), hay yield (7.5 t ha -1 ), lowest neutral detergent fiber (52.2%), and crude ash (7.8%) rates were obtained from the 60%HV+40%AR mixture and 30-cm row spacing interaction. The highest crude protein (CP) rate (17%), CP yield (1156 kg ha -1 ) and ADF (39.5%) ratios were obtained from the 80%HV+20%AR mixture and 30-cm row spacing interaction. The highest RFV value (107) was obtained from the 80%HV+20%AR mixture and 20-cm row spacing interaction. These results show that increasing the HV ratio in the mixture has positive effects on the yield and quality, whereas raising the row spacing has adverse effects on the forage values. Therefore, 80%HV+20%AR or 60%HV+40%AR with a 30-cm row spacing interaction can be suggested for forage production in an HV and AR intercropping system.

“…Turemen et al (1990) reported that the highest dry matter yield was obtained from pure stand of annual ryegrass. Albayrak et al (2004) found the highest dry matter and crude protein yields in the mixture including 70% hairy vetch + 30% triticale. Lithourgidis et al(2006) evaluated pure sowings of common vetch, triticale and oat monocultures as well as mixtures of common vetch with the cereals in two seeding ratios (55:45 and 65:35) for forage yield and quality.…”

The objective of this research was to determine the forage yield, quality and physiological properties of mixtures of common vetch (Vicia sativa L.) with triticale (×Triticosecale Wittmack) and annual ryegrass (Lolium moltiflorum) grown as intermediate winter crop system under the conditions of Southern Marmara Region. Forage yield, light interception, leaf area index, crude protein content, crude protein yield, ADF and NDF contents were measured. The highest forage yield (15.21 t ha-1) was obtained from 50% common vetch + 50% triticale mixture which was followed by 75% common vetch + 25% triticale, 25% common vetch + 75% triticale, 25% common vetch + 75% annual ryegrass mixtures.The results of two-year averages indicated that the 75% common vetch + 25 % triticale mixturewas the best one for good quality and higher forage yield, and its suitability wasrecommended for the experimental ecology.

Plant and Soil 2012, 29(3&4): 135-141 Printed in South Africa -All rights reserved The Eastern Cape (EC) is one of South Africa's provinces worst affected by soil degradation (Fox and Rowntree 2001, Fatunbi andDube 2008). Poor agricultural practices leave the soil without cover, promoting erosion and loss of nutrient-rich soil particles leading to reduced soil productivity (Laker 2004). In order to increase and stabilise soil productivity, control of soil erosion is essential. One key principle of conservation agriculture (CA) is permanent soil cover, a potential solution to the problem of soil degradation observed in the EC. The proponents of CA suggest the use of cover crops, grown in rotation or intercropped with the main crop, as a way of providing permanent soil cover, increasing aggregate stability and eventually reducing erosion.Cover crops provide several other advantages besides reduction of soil erosion. Some that are cited in the literature include weed suppression, mining of leached nutrients, improved soil organic matter, nitrogen (N) fixation and general improvement in soil fertility (Derpsch 2008). However, no single cover crop species can achieve all these benefits on its own. Production of two cover crop species together, usually a legume and a grass, known as biculturing, offers an option that can deliver diverse benefits Differences have been noted among cover-crop species regarding their growth rate, amount of biomass accumulation, weed suppression and nutrient uptake. Grasses germinate earlier and develop root systems at a faster rate than legumes (Ranells and Wagger 1996), hence may have more effective early season weed control. They also potentially contribute to increases in soil organic matter by supplying higher levels of carbon (C) (Odhiambo and Bomke 2001, Lithourgidis et al. 2006). However, grasses have been observed to provide little N for growth of the follow-on crop and are less economical as they require large amounts of N fertiliser to attain acceptable biomass compared to legumes (Murungu et al. 2010).Conversely, legume species biologically fix N, increasing soil N levels and resulting in yield increases for subsequent crops when N is the limiting factor (Kuo et al. 1996, Crandall et al. 2005. In temperate and tropical environments, vetch (Vicia sativa L.) can accumulate 150-250 kg N ha −1 , replacing about two-thirds of N required for maize (Zea mays L.) production (Crandall et al. 2005). Although both grazing vetch and white oat (Avena sativa L.) can symbiotically interact with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, increasing phosphorus (P) uptake, legumes decompose Biomass production, weed suppression, nitrogen and phosphorus uptake in white oat (Avena sativa L.) and grazing vetch (Vicia dasycarpa L.) cover crop bicultures under an irrigated no-till system L Muzangwa 1 , C Chiduza 2 * and P Muchaonyerwa 3 Private Bag X01, Scottsville 3209, Pietermaritzburg, South Africa * Corresponding author, Cultivation of a multipurpose cover crop is of interest to Eastern Cape farmers ex...
