Anbau von Erbsen, Sommerweizen und -gerste in Reinsaaten und in Gemengen

Summary

Two varieties of peas and two species of cereals have been tested sole and inter-cropped during three years with respect to yield and weed competition on a fruitful soil in saxony. A randomized complete block design with four replications was used. Yield of grain was highest with sole cropped spring wheat and lowest with a variety of pea. Intercropping of peas with wheat or barley did not increase total grain yield signifi-cantly compared to the pure stands of cereals. In mixed crops grain yield of pea seed was low at harvest and weed competition was only slightly enhanced. Nitrogen yield was highest with sole cropped peas.
