Abstract

The positive effects of intercropping systems are well known. Based on this we tested if a pea-cereal intercropping under reduced tillage can compensate the higher weed growth compared to deep ploughing. Furthermore we studied the reasons for the better weed suppression. In Organic Farming we need regional produced protein-rich animal feedstuffs. Therefore we tested different seed ratios of common vetches in mixtures with oat harvested as a grain crop.
