Summary

Short stem peas and early ripening narrow leaved lupins with restricted branched are the best option for inter-cropping with spring barley and - wheat, with respect to synchronized development and stand ability. Traditional branched lupins and faba beans outgrew and ripened much later than the inter-cropped cereals. Weed infestations decreased slightly in the mixtures with barley compared to the cereal mono-culture and several times compared to the legume mono-cultures.
