Root growth and soil nitrogen depletion by onion, lettuce, early cabbage and carrot [PDF]

, 2001
Experiments examining root growth, the utilization of N and the effect of green manures were carried out on four vegetable crops. Large differences were observed both in rooting depth penetration rates, and in final rooting depth and distribution.

Effects of maturity on nutritive value of field-cured hays from common vetch and hairy vetch [PDF]

Animal Research, 2001
Effets du stade de maturité sur la valeur nutritive des foins de vesce commune et de vesce velue. Une étude comparative sur la qualité des foins de vesce commune et de vesce velue, recoltés à trois stades de végétation (floraison et deux stades pendant la formation des gousses) a été conduite avec le but d'établir le stade optimal de coupe et de ...

Evaluation of Mixed Cropping of Oat and Hairy Vetch as Green Manure for Succeeding Corn Production

Plant Production Science, 2013
Legume-grass mixed cropping may alleviate N starvation when incorporated as grass green manure which has a higher C/N ratio than legume manure. We focused on N and P absorption of oat in mixed cropping with hairy vetch, and investigated the effect of the

Potential use of winter green manure species for nitrogen recycling by ‘Niagara Rosada’ grapevines [PDF]

Ciência e Técnica Vitivinícola, 2014
Green manures have become an important option for recycling nutrients in organic cropping. However, its benefits are often not obtained in the short term.

Evaluation of relay intercropping hairy vetch (Vicia villosa Roth) as a green manure to reduce chemical fertilizer input in the cultivation of root crops

Plant Production Science
Producing cash and green manure crops during the same growing season is a promising strategy for sustainable crop production. The present study evaluated the relay intercropping of a legume green manure crop (Vicia villosa Roth, hairy vetch) and root ...

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

Nitrogen Accumulation and Initial Growth Response in Lettuce Planted at Different Periods After Hairy Vetch Incorporation

International Journal of Plant Biology
One-month-old lettuce seedlings were planted in the field with and without prior hairy vetch (Vicia villosa L.) incorporation (HV and Fallow, respectively). The periods between hairy vetch incorporation and lettuce planting were 1 day, 8 days and 15 days.

Modeling Hairy Vetch and Cereal Rye Cover Crop Decomposition and Nitrogen Release

Agronomy, 2020
Empirical models could help us to understand the process of plant residue decomposition and nutrient release into the soil. The objective of this study was to determine an appropriate model to describe the decomposition of hairy vetch (Vicia villosa Roth)
