Description
The effects of different soil types and seeding rates and row spacing on the yield of galega (Galega orientalis) have been determined in long-term trials. Over 10 years al the Estonian Research Institute of Agriculture, IO00-seed weight was 6.7-8.4 g. Ten-yenr average seed yield (kg/hn) was 241, 305 nnd 424 on soils of pH 5.6, 6.0 and 6,3, respectively. Seed yields of galega were about 6 times those of alfalfa in the soil at pH 6.3. Seeding rate and now spacing hnd little effect on seed yields. In south Sakhalin, galega was winter-hardy at - 47°C and survived drought the following summer. Suitable grazing conditions for galega in the CIS (including the Baltic states) and cultivation techniques are summarised
