The after-effect of chosen Fabaceae forecrops on the yield of grain and protein in winter triticale (Triticosecale sp. Wittmack ex A. Camus 1927) fertilized with mineral nitrogen

Abstract

Two-way field experiment was carried out in a split-plot design in 4 growing seasons at the Experimental Station of the Bydgoszcz University of Science and Technology in Mochełek (Poland). The forecrops for winter triticale cv. Tulus were lupins: yellow, blue and white, field pea and spring barley. Nitrogen (N) fertilization in triticale after harvesting forecrops was: 0-60-120-180 kg N per ha. Average long-term yields of grain and protein in triticale after leguminous forecrops were statistically similar, by 0.84 t/ha and 86 kg/ha higher than after spring barley. On plots without mineral N fertilization, by over 1.5 t/ha more grain was obtained after leguminous forecrops, and by 142 kg/ha more protein than on the plot after spring barley. However, the rate of 180 kg N/ha guaranteed obtaining a significantly highest mean protein yield in triticale. The applied mineral N fertilization at rates from 60 to 180 kg N/ha did not significantly vary the average yield of winter triticale. Mineral nitrogen (N min ) content in the layer 0-60 cm after harvesting the leguminous forecrop without mineral N fertilization was by 25.5% higher than after harvesting spring barley fertilized with a rate of 60 kg N per ha.

The long-term effect of legumes as forecrops on the productivity of rotation (winter rape-winter wheat-winter wheat) with nitrogen fertilization

“…The most beneficial effect of legume forecrops was observed on yields of WR and WW cultivated in the third year of rotation in the plot with no mineral N fertilization (increase by 0.8 t/ha). Prusiński et al (2016) noticed in plots without mineral N fertilization by over 1.5 t/ha more grain of winter triticale after legume forecrops than in the plot after spring barley. Moreover in comparison to the control, nitrogen fertilization caused a significant increase of WR and both WW yields, but the dose of 180 kg N/ha did not increase yield significantly in comparison to 120 kg N/ha.…”

“…A significant increase was noticed in yields of WW cultivated in the third and fourth year of rotation after each legume in comparison to SB. In the similar experiment of Prusiński et al (2016), where the effect of legume forecrops and nitrogen fertilization on yielding of Means denoted by the same letters for each factor did not differ significantly. LSD (least significant difference) F/WW = 0.52; WW/F = 0.30 Means denoted by the same letters for each factor did not differ significantly.…”

Effects of pre-preceding leguminous crops on yield and chemical composition of winter wheat grain

“…Houšť et al (2012) did not report significant differences in winter wheat yields in three crop rotations (alfalfa, peas, maize grown for silage) with different percentages of cereals (33.3, 50 and 66.6%). In a study by Prusiński et al (2016), the average yield and protein content of winter triticale grain were higher after leguminous forecrops than after spring barley.…”

Nutrient Contents in Yellow Lupine (Lupinus luteus L.) and Blue Lupine (Lupinus angustifolius L.) Cultivars Depending on Habitat Conditions

“…Monthly sum of precipitation and mean temperature in locations of cultivation of blue lupine and yellow lupine. crude protein, 2 crude fibre, 3 crude fat, 4 water-soluble sugars, 5 starch, 6 alkaloids *Values in column marked with same letter did not differ statistically (α = 0.05) was also noted by Barrientos et al [31]. According to Maknickiene et al [32], lupine seeds contain relatively small amounts of compounds such as lectins or protease inhibitors compared with other legume species, but they contain nutritionally active factors such as alkaloids, α-galactosides, and inositol phosphates, which limits the possibilities for their use.…”
