Abstract
Aims
The current study quantified the carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) transfer from peas to oats under field conditions to assess the effects of intercropping. The data obtained were compared with previously published pot and field experiments.
Methods
Pea (Pisum sativum L. cv. Santana) and oat (Avena sativa L. cv Dominik) plants were grown as intercrops for 105 days. Pea plants were labelled with a solution of 2% 13C glucose (99 atom%) and 0.5% 15N urea (95 atom%), using the cotton wick technique.
Results
Pea rhizodeposits reached 540 kg C ha−1 and 17 kg N ha−1. CdfR (C derived from rhizodeposition) and NdfR corresponded to a proportion of 18.2 and 12.7%, respectively, of total pea biomass C and N. In the intercropped oat plants, only 0.6% of the total pea CdfR amount was found, but nearly 30% of the total pea NdfR amount.
Conclusions
CdfR and NdfR as proportion of total pea biomass C and N, respectively, were 2.5 times higher in peas intercropped with oat plants than in sole-cropped pea plants, comparing the current results with those from previously published pot and field experiments. Future studies on intercropping should consider root formation and rhizodeposition more often.
期刊介绍:
Plant and Soil publishes original papers and review articles exploring the interface of plant biology and soil sciences, and that enhance our mechanistic understanding of plant-soil interactions. We focus on the interface of plant biology and soil sciences, and seek those manuscripts with a strong mechanistic component which develop and test hypotheses aimed at understanding underlying mechanisms of plant-soil interactions. Manuscripts can include both fundamental and applied aspects of mineral nutrition, plant water relations, symbiotic and pathogenic plant-microbe interactions, root anatomy and morphology, soil biology, ecology, agrochemistry and agrophysics, as long as they are hypothesis-driven and enhance our mechanistic understanding. Articles including a major molecular or modelling component also fall within the scope of the journal. All contributions appear in the English language, with consistent spelling, using either American or British English.
