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.
