The aim of this experiment was to investigate the growth and residual-nitrogen (-N) effects of different catch-crop species on a low–N fertility coarse sandy soil. Six legumes (white clover [Trifolium repens L.], red clover [Trifolium pratense L.], Persian clover [Trifolium resupinatum L.], black medic [Medi-cago lupulina L.], kidney vetch [Anthyllis vulneraria L.], and lupin [Lupinus angustifolius L.]), four non legumes (rye grass [Lolium perenne L.], chicory [Cichorium intybus L.], fodder radish [Raphanus sativus L.],and sorrel [Rumex Acetósa L.]), and one mixture (rye/hairy vetch [Secale cereale L./Vicia villosa L.])were tested in a field experiment with three repli-cates in a randomized block design. Four reference treat-ments without catch crops and... |
