Parameters Related to Nodulating Ability of Some Legumes
Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Science and Food Technology - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Parameters related to nodulating ability of some legumes were studied in a pot trial in the Institute of Forage Crops, Pleven, Bulgaria during the 2013 and 2014 years. Birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus L.), sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia Scop.) and subterranean clover (Trifolium subterraneum L.) were pure cultivated and in mixture with perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) in the next ratios: birdsfoot trefoil + perennial ryegrass (50:50%); sainfoin + perennial ryegrass (50:50%); subterranean clover + perennial ryegrass (50:50%); birdsfoot trefoil + subterranean clover + perennial ryegrass (33:33:33%); sainfoin + subterranean clover + perennial ryegrass (33:33:33%). From the pure cultivated crops, birdsfoot trefoil showed both, the highest nodulating ability and root biomass to nodule number ratio. Birdsfoot trefoil and subterranean clover in mixtures with perennial ryegrass formed more nodules as compared to pure crops by 16.0% and by 24.4%, respectively. Sainfoin showed weak nodulating ability, both, pure and in mixtures. In terms of root to aboveground biomass ratio, the legumes were arranged as follows: subterranean clover, birdsfoot trefoil and sainfoin.
