Quantitative and Qualitative Evaluation of Sorghum bicolor L. under Intercropping with Legumes and Different Weed Control Methods

Horticulturae, 2020
In order to evaluate the quantity and quality of forage when intercropping forage sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) with lathyrus (Lathyrus sativus) and hairy vetch (Vicia villosa), and using different weed management methods such as double cropping, a ...

Remediation of degraded arable steppe soils in Moldova using vetch as green manure [PDF]

Solid Earth, 2015
In the Republic of Moldova, non-sustainable arable farming led to severe degradation and erosion of fertile steppe soils (Chernozems). As a result, the Chernozems lost about 40% of their initial amounts of soil organic carbon (SOC). The aim of this study

Pollinator community composition and pollen resource use in calcareous grasslands under different landscape contexts across Europe

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
In this paper, we show that pronounced differences in pollinator communities exist between grasslands embedded in contrasting agricultural landscape contexts. Opportunistic foraging strategies of most pollinators resulted in large interaction turnover, but these shifts did not translate into major changes in overall network structure, most likely as a ...

Effect of Incorporation of Hairy Vetch and Rye Grown as Cover Crops on Weed Suppression Related with Phenolics and Nitrogen Contents of Soil

Plant Production Science, 2010
Characterization of the release of degradable components of cover crops is important for determining the quality of soil nutrients for the following crop and weed occurrence. We have examined the temporal changes in soil phenolic carbon (C) and nitrogen (

Effects of green-manure and tillage management on soil microbial community composition, nutrients and tree growth in a walnut orchard

Scientific Reports, 2021
This study characterized the effect of green manures (February orchid, hairy vetch, rattail fescue and a no-green-manure control) and the termination method (flail or disk) on nutrient contents, enzyme activities, microbial biomass, microbial community ...

Deer Antler δ18O Records Desalination in Israel's Water Supply

Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, Volume 40, Issue 19, 15 October 2026.
ABSTRACT Rationale Stable oxygen isotope ratios (δ¹⁸O) in mammalian tissues are widely used to reconstruct past climates, seasonal patterns, and animal origins. These analyses assume that animals drink local rainwater—an assumption now challenged by large‐scale anthropogenic water management.

Ecological production of dryland hairy vetch by mechanical control [PDF]

Agronomy for Sustainable Development, 2006
Winter hairy vetch, Vicia villosa Roth, gives high grain and hay yields. Mechanical control of weeds is an ecological alternative to the use of herbicides. Among the various mechanical methods, interrow weeding is cheap and practical. Nonetheless, wider row spacing than common practice is needed to ease the operation.

Mixed cropping of oat–hairy vetch improves the forage yield and nutrient use efficiency of oat (Avena sativa L.) under different fertilizer rates in Ethiopia

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract The study aimed to investigate the effect of fertilizer rates on quantitative traits and nutrient use efficiency of oat (Avena sativa) in oat–hairy vetch (Vicia villosa) mixed cropping system in the central highlands of Ethiopia. The oat–hairy vetch mixtures were sown with eight fertilizer rates (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%, 125%, 150%, and 175%),

Implementing potential climate‐smart practices through diverse partnerships

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1584-1598, September 2026.
Climate change is one of the greatest threats to society, negatively impacting agriculture and crop yields. Globally, agriculture is also one of the largest greenhouse gas (GHG) emitting sectors. Climate‐smart practices that are developed through diverse partnerships with scientists and practitioners are needed to decrease GHG emissions. We implemented
