Choise of species and varieties for grain legumesand cereals for inter- and monocropping in organic agricultural systems

Summary in the original language of the document

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.
