Abstract

Hairy vetch (HV, Vicia villosa Roth) cover cropping is an increasing key practice to regenerative agriculture, but its broad adoption is usually limited by the low seed availability. Up to present, the tools for managing HV crops are not well-known, with seed yield being extremely variable within a given field. During three growing cycles intra-field seed yield variation was studied using site-specific variables from small sampling units (1.25 ± 0.03 ha) located in 13 extended seed fields, with a wide range of soil depth. The mean consumptive water use (∼ ETc) was estimated at 440 mm during the growing cycle. The yield of HV seed reached a maximum of 1549 kg ha⁻¹ when water was provided by rain plus irrigation, matching the crop demand at each site. An excess of crop water availability with respect to crop demand strongly reduced the seed yield, more severely than that observed under water deficit. Given the intra-field variability in soil depth and water distribution, it is possible to design site-specific management to optimize HV seed yield.

毛豌豆（Vicia villosa Roth）种子产量的地点特异性决定因素

毛杨（HV, Vicia villosa Roth）覆盖种植是一种日益重要的再生农业实践，但其广泛采用通常受到种子可得性低的限制。到目前为止，管理HV作物的工具还不为人所知，因为种子产量在给定的田地内变化很大。在三个生长周期内，采用小样本单位（1.25 ± 0.03 ha）研究了田间种子产量变化，这些小样本单位位于13个扩展的种子田中，土壤深度范围很广。在生长周期中，平均耗水量（~ ETc）估计为440 mm。以雨灌方式灌溉时，HV种子产量最高可达1549 kg ha−1，满足各立地作物需求。作物水分供应相对于作物需求的过剩严重降低了种子产量，比缺水情况下观察到的更严重。考虑到土壤深度和水分分布的田间变异性，可以设计特定场地的管理来优化HV种子产量。

期刊介绍： Soil & Tillage Research examines the physical, chemical and biological changes in the soil caused by tillage and field traffic. Manuscripts will be considered on aspects of soil science, physics, technology, mechanization and applied engineering for a sustainable balance among productivity, environmental quality and profitability. The following are examples of suitable topics within the scope of the journal of Soil and Tillage Research: The agricultural and biosystems engineering associated with tillage (including no-tillage, reduced-tillage and direct drilling), irrigation and drainage, crops and crop rotations, fertilization, rehabilitation of mine spoils and processes used to modify soils. Soil change effects on establishment and yield of crops, growth of plants and roots, structure and erosion of soil, cycling of carbon and nutrients, greenhouse gas emissions, leaching, runoff and other processes that affect environmental quality. Characterization or modeling of tillage and field traffic responses, soil, climate, or topographic effects, soil deformation processes, tillage tools, traction devices, energy requirements, economics, surface and subsurface water quality effects, tillage effects on weed, pest and disease control, and their interactions.
