Environmental Influences on the Relationship between Fall and Spring Vigor in Hairy Vetch

Abstract: Hairy vetch (Vicia villosa Roth) is a commonly grown legume cover crop in the United States. Critical breeding goals for the species include increasing early fall vigor and spring biomass production. To ascertain genetic improvement for these traits, we explored the relationship between fall and spring vigor. Moreover, we evaluated the variation in genotypic performance across multiple environments and assessed how weather variables affected germplasm performance. The relationship between fall and spring vigor… Show more

“…Our results confirm that a visual vigor rating serves as a good proxy for aboveground biomass, which has previously been demonstrated in red clover (Riday, 2009) but not in hairy vetch or crimson clover. This finding strengthens results from a recent study on hairy vetch that used vigor ratings as a proxy for fall and spring biomass (Kissing Kucek et al., 2019). We used the average of —five to seven vigor ratings.…”

“…The lack of genetic improvement in legume green manures means that their characteristics are uncertain. For new breeding programs aimed at improving legume green manures (Kissing Kucek et al., 2019; Kissing Kucek, Riday, et al., 2020; Moore et al., 2020), farmers identified symbiotic N fixation (SNF) as the most important trait of interest (Wayman et al., 2017). So far, new breeding programs for legume green manures have focused on removing undesirable traits like seed dormancy (Kissing Kucek, Azevedo, et al., 2020) and improving cover crop establishment, overwinter survival, and spring biomass production (Kissing Kucek et al., 2019; Wiering et al., 2018).…”

“…The germplasm for our genetic analysis of PD originated from an existing hairy vetch breeding program. For further details on source germplasm, nursery design, field data collection, and management see Kissing Kucek et al (2019). In the late summer and early fall of 2017, seven nursery environments (Clayton, NC; Goldsboro, NC; Beltsville, MD; Ithaca, NY; Varna, NY; Prairie Du Sac, WI; and St. Paul, MN) planted half-sib seed from 92 maternal plants selected in the summer of 2017, in addition to 12 check lines (Table S1).…”
