Book Description
Single-year intercrops of winter cereal grains and forage legumes have an important contribution to make to North Central USA cropping systems, and improvement of component yields through informed cultivar choice or cultivar improvement could increase profitability and ease farmer adoption. This study sought to characterize winter cereal grain genotypes associated with high or low yields of each intercrop component and to identify cereal grain traits of potential utility in breeding for intercrop performance. Twenty-five winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and 17 winter triticale (X Triticosecale Wittmack) lines were intercropped with red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) and evaluated for cereal grain canopy characteristics (including light interception, leaf area index [LAI], and leaf angle distribution), cereal grain morphology and phenology (height, tiller density, and heading date), and component yields (cereal grain yield and clover forage yield). Over two years, a tradeoff between grain yield and forage yield was observed in wheat (r = -0.43), but not in triticale. Wheat canopies with high light interception, high LAI, and highly horizontal leaves predicted not only low clover yield (r = -0.53, -0.59, and -0.54, respectively), but also high wheat yields (r = 0.68, 0.47, and 0.45, respectively). Triticale canopy characteristics displayed a less consistent pattern of relationship with component yields. Height was a predictor of low clover yields (r = -0.50) in triticale. Results did not clearly identify any cereal grain traits for potential use as criteria in indirect selection for component yields.

Managing Cover Crops Profitably (3rd Ed. )
Author: Andy Clark
Publisher: DIANE Publishing
ISBN: 1437903797
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
Cover crops slow erosion, improve soil, smother weeds, enhance nutrient and moisture availability, help control many pests and bring a host of other benefits to your farm. At the same time, they can reduce costs, increase profits and even create new sources of income. You¿ll reap dividends on your cover crop investments for years, since their benefits accumulate over the long term. This book will help you find which ones are right for you. Captures farmer and other research results from the past ten years. The authors verified the info. from the 2nd ed., added new results and updated farmer profiles and research data, and added 2 chap. Includes maps and charts, detailed narratives about individual cover crop species, and chap. about aspects of cover cropping.

Advances in Research on Fertilization Management of Vegetable Crops
Author: Francesco Tei
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319536265
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 307
Book Description
This book is a review of the recent literature on the key scientific and technical subjects of fertilization management in vegetable crops. In the last decades, research on fertilization management in vegetables was aimed at producing economical yields with reduced fertilizer inputs by the development and implementation of cropping systems, nutrient management approaches and crop varieties. Examples of the interventions in cropping systems included adequate crop rotations, inter-cropping, double cropping, and other strategies for a better soil organic matter management; nutrient management approaches included modelling, Decision Support Systems, crop nutritional status testing and precision agriculture technologies; amelioration of crop varieties has been directed toward higher nutrient/fertilizer use efficiency.

Forage Legumes-Maize (Zea Mays L.)Intercropping
Author: Sharma J J
Publisher: LAP Lambert Academic Publishing
ISBN: 9783659709333
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 100
Book Description
Intercropping of grain legumes in cereals is a common feature of cropping systems while, the extent of forage crop production is partly limited due to small landholding and the extent of forage legumes in the mixture is found to be low. Integration of forage legumes in cropping systems through intercropping could be used to optimize land use productivity and improve the crop residue feed quality, besides additional forage production. The studies, showed that integration of forage legumes (lablab and vetch) into maize as an intercropping can increase productivity per unit of land, enable additional forage crop production without significant sacrifice of maize grain and stover yield and improvement of stover feed value. Intercropping of vetch with maize in rows at 50% of its sole seed rate was superior can be used by those farmers, who need to produce additional forage and improve the crude protein of stover without significant sacrifice of maize grain yield.
