“…On average, legume green mamres had I 14 kg ha-l mineral N and fallow l22kgha-l in the upper 0.6 m ofsoil, while continuous wheat had about 60Yo of these levels. These results were similar to those from other green-mamre studies on dryland sites (Mahler and Auld 1989;Badaruddin and Meyer 1990). , in a srudy under more humid conditions in northem Alberta.…”

' ql{ winkleman, G' E' 1996' Nitrogen bclefits from four green-manure legumes in dryland cropping systems. can. i. punt Partial replacement of fallow with legume green manures has the p"ll"ti""i to improve i.ia ptJu"tt-"r.14 agricultural sustainability in the northern Great Plains' This is possible if N gains by annual legumes and enhan.eirrrent of soil N aiailability are optimized. The objectives of the study were to (i) determine the N distributionln different vegetative components of four annual legumes; (ii) estimate their ability to accumulate N through fixation; and (iii) compare the N uptate of ihe cereal crop that follows tegume green manure with that of cereal grown on fallow or of cereal ieceiving N fertilizer. Blac k lentii-(Lens culinaris Medik.), Tangier flatpea (Lathyrus tingitanus L'), chickling vetch (Lathyrus sativus L)l and feedpea (Pisum satiwm L.) were grown in rotation with spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Nitrogen concentration in iegume nodulei was several times greater than in any other plant part' However, N concentration in legume shoots was, on average, 27o/o greiter than in legume rJots. Total legume N content (% x mass) ranged from 4l to 126 kg hrl in years of low weedinJss. fn tt ose yeari, Uetow-"grounA Galculations and Statistical AnalysesSoil bulk densities determined at the same experimental site in a previous study (Dyck et al. 1977) were used together with depth increments to convert nutrient concentrations to nutrienfcontents. Plant and grain N yields were calculated as the product of nutrient concentrations and crop yields' The difference in plant N uptake between each legume at firll bloom and the N taken up by spring wheat from the continuous-wheat control treaunent when sampled the same day as the legumes was used to estimate total N fxed by the green--atture crop. For the wheat refefence crop, it was issumed, on the baiis of earlier experiments at the same site, that the below-ground N uptake was 20Yo of the total plant uptake and that the recovery of fertilizerN was 50% of the amonnt applied Campbell and Paul 1978 CANADIAN JOURNAL OF PLANT SCIENCE

“…Legumes are generally considered to leave high amounts of N for the succeeding crop (Badaruddin and Meyer 1990), although there are great differences between legume crops in this respect (Kirchmann and Marstorp 1991). In Finland, cool late autumn weather and cold winter can decrease the decomposition rate of plant material and nitrification of nitrogenous compounds in soil (Anderson 1960).…”

“…The positive effect of N rich plant biomass on the succeeding cereal grain yield is often reduced with increasing N fertilization (Badaruddin andMeyer 1990, Lindén andWallgren 1993). Further, Francis and Knight (1993) state that after different tillage methods, differences in yields can be compensated with different amount of fertilizer N.…”

The effect of the time of incorporation of different green manures and barley residues on the grain yield of spring cereals in two successive seasons was studied in seven field trials. Annual hairy vetch (Vicia villosa Roth), red clover (Trifolium pratense L.), westerwold ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam. var. westerwoldicum) and straw of spring barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) were incorporated into the soil by ploughing in early September, late October and the following May, and by reduced tillage in May. Spring barley was established in the following spring, and spring oats (Avena sativa L.) one year later.In general the grain yield of spring barley after legumes was similar to that after barley, in spite of the fact that N fertilization was reduced by 40 kg ha -1 . The two autumn ploughing treatments resulted in a good yield of spring barley more reliably than did the spring incorporations. Because delayed autumn ploughing did not decrease the grain yield, a delaying procedure can be recommended for its potential of decreasing nitrogen leaching. Spring ploughing could be used on all but clay soils. Incorporating ryegrass or red clover in spring by using reduced tillage often decreased the grain yield of barley. Timing of incorporation did not have a consistent effect on the grain yield of oats in the third experimental year.

“…Accordingly, incorporating a leguminous green manure crop provides a large amount of nitrogen and carbon to the soil for subsequent crops. Several leguminous green manure crops have been utilized for agriculture all over the world (Badaruddin and Meyer 1990;Mappaona et al 1994). Legumes such as clover, vetch, and field peas are cultivated as winter cover crops (Biederbeck et al 1993;Karpenstein-Machan and Stuelpnagel 2000;Ross et al 2001).…”

Effects of hairy vetch foliage application on nodulation and nitrogen fixation in soybean cultivated in three soil types

We investigated the effects of applying hairy vetch foliage on nodulation and atmospheric nitrogen (N 2 ) fixation in soybean cultivated in three soil types in pot experiments. Soybean plants were grown in Gley Lowland soil (GLS), Non-allophanic Andosol (NAS), and Sand-dune Regosol (SDR) with hairy vetch foliage application in a greenhouse for 45 days. In GLS, the nodule number was not influenced by the application, however, nodule dry weight and N 2 fixation activity tended to increase. In NAS and SDR, nodule formation was depressed by foliage application. Soybean plant growth was promoted in GLS and SDR but not in NAS. These promotive effects of hairy vetch foliage application on soybean plant growth in GLS were considered to be mainly caused by the increase in N 2 fixation activity of the nodules, whereas it was considered to be mainly caused by the increase in nitrogen uptake activity of the roots in SDR. The varying effects of hairy vetch foliage application on soybean nodulation may be due to soil chemical properties such as pH and cation exchange capacity, which are related to soil texture. Therefore, we conclude that it is important to use hairy vetch for soybean cultivation based on the different effects of hairy vetch on soybean plant growth in different soil types.
