Abstract:Purpose
The inclusion of winter legumes during fallow periods allows the addition of N to the system through biological N fixation (BNF), which will depend on management practices and crop species (for grain production or a cover crop). The objectives of this study were to evaluate the BNF and biomass and N accumulation in pea and vetch crops growing under field conditions and to study the impact of including belowground structures in the partial N balance of both crops.
Methods
Biomass, BNF and N uptake, in… Show more
