Competition and Facilitation in Hairy Vetch-Barley Intercrops

Italian Journal of Agronomy, 2010
Intercrops between legumes and non-legumes are widely used for fodder production and as cover crops, but little quantitative data are available on competition between species in the mixture.

Influence of Seeding Ratio, Planting Date, and Termination Date on Rye-Hairy Vetch Cover Crop Mixture Performance under Organic Management. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Cover crop benefits include nitrogen accumulation and retention, weed suppression, organic matter maintenance, and reduced erosion. Organic farmers need region-specific information on winter cover crop performance to effectively integrate cover crops ...

Application of graphene oxide nanoparticles for improvement of growth parameters, photosynthetic pigments, and essential oil quality and yield of Lavandula angustifolia Mill. under green manure incorporation [PDF]

BMC Plant Biology
Increasing chemical fertilizer usage in agroecosystems is a serious concern that requires continuous attention. In this regard, a field experiment was performed to evaluate the effect of graphene oxide nanoparticles (GO-NPs) on lavender (Lavandula ...

Combining biochar and grass-legume mixture to improve the phytoremediation of soils contaminated with potentially toxic elements (PTEs) [PDF]

Heliyon
The combination of soil amendments with plants can be a viable option for restoring the functionality of PTEs-contaminated soils. Soil recovery could be further optimized through the mixed cropping of plant species (e.g.

Hairy vetch influence on nitrous oxide and nitrate leaching losses during corn growing seasons in reduced and no-till systems

Geoderma
Shifting from reduced tillage (RT) to no-till (NT) often reduces phosphorus (P) runoff by minimizing soil erosion. However, it might increase nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions or nitrate-N (NO3-N) leaching.

A reference assembly for the legume cover crop hairy vetch (Vicia villosa). [PDF]

GigaByte, 2023
Vicia villosa is an incompletely domesticated annual legume of the Fabaceae family native to Europe and Western Asia. V. villosa is widely used as a cover crop and forage due to its ability to withstand harsh winters. Here, we generated a reference-quality genome assembly (Vvill1.0) from low error-rate long-sequence reads to improve the genetic-based ...

Genetic Diversity and Symbiotic Phenotype of Hairy Vetch Rhizobia in Japan. [PDF]

Microbes Environ, 2016
Hairy vetch (Vicia villosa Roth) is a leguminous crop widely used as green manure and a cover crop in Japan. It exhibits strong weed-suppressing activity, high resistance to insect pests, and the ability to fix nitrogen through symbiotic interactions with soil bacteria known as rhizobia.

Targeted metabolomics unveil alteration in accumulation and root exudation of flavonoids as a response to interspecific competition

Journal of Plant Interactions, 2021
This study aimed to elucidate the chemical response of hairy vetch (Vicia villosa Roth) to interspecific competition by rye (Secale cereale L.). Hairy vetch plants were grown as target plants in a mixture with different densities of rye plants (0, 1, 2 ...

An Efficient Root Transformation System for Recalcitrant Vicia sativa

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Common vetch (Vicia sativa) is a multi-purpose legume widely used in pasture and crop rotation systems. Vetch seeds have desirable nutritional characteristics and are often used to feed ruminant animals.

Relay Intercropping Winter Cover Crop Effects on Spring Forage Potential of Sweet Maize Stover and Yearling Cattle Beef Performance

Animals, 2022
Small landholders who grow sweet maize for the fresh produce market often also have cattle with little access to winter forage. Grazing cover crops with sweet maize stover can potentially increase the available nutritive value.
