The objective of this study was to determine the suitability of winter cover crop species for Estonian conditions. Field trials with cover crop species winter rye (Secale cereale L), winter turnip rape (Brassica rapa spp. oleifera L.), forage radish (Raphanus sativus L. var. longipinnatus), hairy vetch (Vicia villosa Roth) and berseem clover (Trifolium alexandrinum L.) were carried out during the period 2016–2018 at the Estonian Crop Research Institute. Biomass production, nitrogen (N), phosphorous (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) accumulation were evaluated. The results under northern European conditions indicated that together with winter rye and winter turnip rape, hairy vetch survived the winters. By the spring, hairy vetch had produced the most biomass and accumulated the highest amount of N, compared with the other species. Winter turnip rape showed the greatest uptake of P, K and Ca in the spring. In both years, forage radish presented the highest biomass and nutrient accumulation in the autumn. After winterkill and decomposition in the spring, the forage radish left holes in the ground, which could be a beneficial characteristic, particularly in no-tillage farming systems. Berseem clover did not produce remarkable biomass in the autumn and was killed by the first frosts and was therefore considered unsuitable as an overwintering cover crop for northern latitudes.","PeriodicalId":8904,"journal":{"name":"Biological Agriculture & Horticulture","volume":"35 1","pages":"263 - 274"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2019-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/01448765.2019.1627908","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49170129","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the plots with cover crops, two mulches (black and transparent polyethylene (PE) film) were used to cover the soil at the end of the first season during the winter period. The differences in the biomass between vetch grown on its own and the vetch-rye mixture were not significant, but the total amount of N accumulated in the biomass of the vetch (252 kg N ha−1) was greater than that of the vetch-rye mixture (174 kg N ha−1). The use of cover crops improved soil properties in the first season (2016), including water stable aggregate index and soil organic matter. In the second season (2017), the use of cover crops combined with PE mulching had a beneficial effect on soil the pH, the water-stable aggregate index, and the availability of Ca, Mg, B and Fe. Covering the soil with black PE mulch during the winter (in both the vetch and the vetch-rye treatments), increased celery yield, compared with the transparent PE mulch and the untreated soil.

Results showed a significant reduction in O. foetida infestation in the susceptible (Badi) and resistant (Najeh) faba bean cultivars when intercropped with fenugreek in field, pot and petri dish experiments. This reduction appeared to be related to reduced seed germination and low numbers of underground Orobanche attachments, which may have been as a result of allelochemicals released by fenugreek roots, though this was not confirmed in this study. Intercropping with fenugreek also resulted in a significant increase in the shoot dry weight and seed yield especially in the resistant cultivar Najeh.

The focus of this study was to determine the factors affecting trace metal pollution in soils and vegetables that are grown on community urban and periurban organic farms in Spain. The results showed that soil and dust deposition affected plant composition more than other anthropogenic sources, such as traffic loads. Lettuce and broad bean samples collected from one urban farm showed high concentrations of crustal metals Fe, Ca, Mn and Cr, which was thought be due to Saharan dust deposition. The build-up of soil Cu concentration, due to the use of Cu-based fungicide over a long term, was observed on the farm where vegetables had been grown over a long period of time. On the same farm, concentrations of Pb in the soil and the vegetables were noted to be at levels that could pose a risk to human health and/or the environment and this was concluded to be due to the random and uncontrolled disposal of demolition waste containing lead-based white paints. The increased risks for consumers due to these different sources of pollution acting simultaneously demonstrated the need for careful selection of urban soils intended for agricultural use.

Milk samples were collected every second month between July 2015 and June 2016 from 12 farms (four farms per system), and a total of 70 samples were obtained. Fat-, protein- and urea-concentrations, somatic-cell count and fatty acid levels (FA) were determined. FES-measurements were performed by exciting the sample with light of different wavelengths and detecting delayed luminescence. Differences between farming systems in each season were checked by ANOVA. Factors of season, system and breed were evaluated in a linear regression model. By linear-discriminant analysis, variables contributing to correct classification were analysed. Milk FAs, especially the concentration of omega-3 (n3) and omega-6 (n6) FAs, were different between farming systems, while conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and C18:1t11 (tVA)-concentration was mainly influenced by season (pasture). FES-parameters showed slight seasonal variations, but strong farming-system impacts. Differentiation between the three farming systems was possible for 81% of the samples by using FAs as variables. FES-parameters discriminated up to 86% of the samples, and, in combination, 93% of the samples were classified correctly.

Field studies were conducted near Concord, NE, U.S.A., in 2008–2009 and 2009–2010. This study compared no-till [roller/crimper (CRIMP) and broadcast propane flame (FLAME)] and spring disk (DISK) termination of legume, grass, and broadleaf CCs and their effects on a subsequent maize or soybean crop. Before sowing the grain, overwintering CC species were terminated; frost-killed (FROST) CCs were also disked in the spring. Weeds were controlled via cultivation in the tilled systems (DISK and FROST); CC residue was left as a surface mulch in the no-till systems (CRIMP and FLAME). Termination method/tillage regime had greater influence than CC species on grain yield and quality, with tilled treatments performing better than CRIMP and FLAME, likely due to early season weed pressure and low stand establishment in the no-till treatments. Maize yield for the DISK system was on average 6.8 Mg ha−1 in both trials, while FLAME and CRIMP produced 57–78% less. Soybean yields for DISK were 3.3 and 2.0 Mg ha−1; CRIMP and FLAME produced 21–33% less in 2009 and 56% less in 2010. The CCs best suited to no-till systems were winter rye (superior biomass) and hairy vetch (successful mechanical termination). FLAME performed as well as CRIMP. The results suggested that no-till CC termination should be employed within a comprehensive weed management system to minimise yield losses due to weeds and CC regrowth.","PeriodicalId":8904,"journal":{"name":"Biological Agriculture & Horticulture","volume":"35 1","pages":"1 - 20"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2019-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/01448765.2018.1455607","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43321831","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
