Description

Four sowing methods: (1) disk harrowing and broadcast sowing, (2) broadcast sowing and disk harrowing, (3) planting with direct sowing machine, and (4) broadcast sowing, were com­pared to measure the establishment capacity of Glycine wightii cv. Tinaroo in (a) pangola grass (Digitaria decumbens) and (b) native pastures (Bothriochloa/Dichanthium mixture). A random block design with four replications was used. The germination was higher with di­rect sowing (80 and 110 plants/m2) and lower in broadcasting (8 and 15 plants/m2) in (a) and (b), respectively. All the treatments were con­sidered as established six months after sowing, although showing different percentages of as­sociation (more than 90 % of glycine in all the treatments except in broadcasting (88 %) for the native pasture, and more than 60 % in all the treatments except in broadcast sowing (50 %) for pangola grass.
