Growing of Various Species of Catch Crops in a Mixture

Original language description

Importance of catch crops in crop production is multi-layered. However, not all catch crops provide the same benefits. The aim of the study was to monitor the yield of selected species of catch crops in a mixture, their biological differences, and the suitability of the mixture. The field trial was set up on a clay-loam fluvisol at a field experimental station in Žabčice (South Moravia, Czech Republic) in 2015. The trial included two mixtures of catch crops. The first mixture (Variant 1) is composed of Sinapis alba, Phacelia tanacetifolia, Fagopyrum esculentum, Crambe abyssinica, Pisum sativum, and Vicia sativa. The second mixture (Variant 2) includes no legumes and is composed of Sinapis alba, Phacelia tanacetifolia, Fagopyrum esculentum, and Crambe abyssinica. A statistically significant difference in dry matter yield was not observed among the mixtures of catch crops, but was recorded among the species of catch crops in the mixture. The highest yield and also rapid initial growth as well as good soil coverage was reached by Phacelia tanacetifolia and Sinapis alba. A similar growth dynamics also occurred in Fagopyrum esculentum that may be also incorporated into the mixture. Among Pisum sativum was the better choice. When deciding which species of catch crops to mix, it is necessary to respect biological differences among the different species of catch crops, especially similar growth dynamics, and their representation ratio.
