Effect of Seeding Rates of the Mixture of Rye (Secale cereale L.) and Hairy Vetch (Vicia villosa Roth.) on Rye Yield

The research work was carried out under sandy soil of Research Institute of Nyíregyhaza, IAREF, University of Debrecen, Hungary. The purpose of this study was aimed to know the impact of seeding rates of the mixture of rye and hairy vetch on rye productivity. These studies contained 28 treatments, included four seeding rates of rye plant was (20, 40, 60 and 80 kg ha-1) and seven seeding rates of hairy vetch (20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 and 80 kg ha-1) treatments were arranged in Randomized Complete Block Design with four replicates. The highest average of NDVI value (0,701) and the highest harvested seed yield 4432 kg ha-1 were resulted with H1R4 seed mixture. Sowing the H3R4 resulted in the highest biomass yield of 37,466 kg ha-1. The application of the H5R4 seed mixture had the highest dry matter mass with an amount of 3.41 grams. On the other hand, the smallest average NDVI value of 0.643 resulted from H1R1 seed mixture. Sowing the H2R1 seed mixture resulted the lowest biomass yield 24,800 kg ha-1 and the lowest seed quantity of 2926 kg ha-1. H4R1 seed mixture had the lowest dry matter weight with an amount of 2.86 grams. Based on the Pearson's correlation test, there was a correlation of 0.476 between the average NDVI and the average biomass. There was a correlation of 0.703 between the average NDVI and the average seed yield. There was a correlation of 0.606 between the average dry matter mass and the average seed yield.
