Yield Performance And Ler Of Selected Organic Mixtures Of Lupins With Spring Cereals

Summary in the original language of the document

"The aim of the research was to assess the productivity of various organic cereal-grain legumes mixtures and to indicate their most favorable variants. The trial has been located in the IUNG-PIB Experimental Station in Osiny (eastern Poland) on a loamy sand soil. The presented results included two years (2018-2019). The following crops and cultivars were taken into account in the trial design: yellow lupine (Perkoz - self-determinate cultivar and Baryt - traditional cultivar); narrowleaf lupine (Regent - self-determinate cultivar and Kurant - traditional cultivar); oat (Krezus cultivar) and spring triticale (Mazur cultivar). The land equivalency ratio (LER) was calculated on the basis of determined yields. It was done in order to assess the yield benefit in a mixture. High values of LER noted for mixtures of spring cereals with lupines demonstrated their good mixing ability. It was shown higher values of LER for mixtures with oat than with spring triticale independently on the species of lupine."
