Abstract
This study aimed to compare alternative sowing methods i.e., sole, mix and intercrops sown in alternative and perpendicular rows on the productivity of Hungarian vetch-triticale farming. Similarly, the effects of these sowing methods were also inferred on weed infestation. This study was conducted during the vegetation periods of 2018–19 and 2019–20 in terrestrial climate conditions. Sowing in perpendicular rows proved more effective in suppressing weed infestation than alternative rows and increased yield by reducing weed biomass. Sowing Hungarian vetch in mixed and perpendicular rows observed the highest weed infestation and biomass along with low green herbage and dry matter yield. However, Hungarian vetch-triticale mixture (50–50%) sowed in perpendicular rows made the best use of available land, resulted in the lowest weed infestation and biomass and recorded the highest green herbage and dry matter yield. In conclusion, the sowing Hungarian vetch-triticale mixture (50–50%) in perpendicular rows was the most suitable sowing method for improving productivity and suppressing weed infestation in Hungarian vetch-triticale intercropping.
Zusammenfassung
Ziel dieser Studie war es, alternative Aussaatmethoden, d. h. Einzel‑, Misch- und Zwischenfruchtanbau in parallelen und Kreuzreihen, mit der Produktivität des ungarischen Wicken-Triticale-Anbaus zu vergleichen. Ebenso wurden die Auswirkungen dieser Aussaatmethoden auf den Unkrautbefall untersucht. Diese Studie wurde während der Vegetationsperioden 2018–19 und 2019–20 unter terrestrischen Klimabedingungen durchgeführt. Die Aussaat in Kreuzreihen erwies sich als wirksamer bei der Unterdrückung des Unkrautbefalls als parallele Reihen und erhöhte den Ertrag durch die Reduzierung der Unkrautbiomasse. Bei der Aussaat von Ungarischer Wicke in gemischten und Kreuzreihen wurden der höchste Unkrautbefall und die höchste Biomasse zusammen mit einem niedrigen Grünfutter- und Trockenmasseertrag beobachtet. Die Aussaat einer Mischung aus Ungarischer Wicke und Triticale (50–50 %) in Kreuzreihen nutzte jedoch die verfügbare Fläche am besten, führte zu dem geringsten Unkrautbefall und der geringsten Biomasse und verzeichnete den höchsten Grünfutter- und Trockenmasseertrag. Zusammenfassend lässt sich sagen, dass die Aussaat einer Mischung aus Ungarischer Wicke und Triticale (50–50 %) in Kreuzreihen die geeignetste Methode zur Verbesserung der Produktivität und zur Unterdrückung des Unkrautbefalls im ungarischen Wicken-Triticale-Zwischenfruchtanbau war.
