Gemengeanbau von Saatwicken (Vicia sativa L.) als Alternative im Körnerleguminosenanbau

Summary

Six Vicia sativa varieties were cultivated in the year 2011 in northern Germany in pure stand and in different seed ratios in mixed cropping with oat. Parameters of yield differentiated to V. sativa and oat as well as yield performance and weed development were assessed. Results showed a better yield performance of V. sativa compared to other grain legumes. The harvest of V. sativa in pure stand with the combine is not advised because of the low resistance to lodging. A mixed cropping of V. sativa and oat with 50 % of the seed rates of pure stand showed for the most tested varieties the highest yield of V. sativa and total yield of V. sativa and oat.
