Description
Depending on grass species, number of harvest years, location and fertilizer input grass seed cropping leaves varying quantities of organic residues in the soil. When grasses are part of a crop rotation, soil-physical properties will be improved, and positive effects on the yield formation of successors can be expected. In three different experiments run between 1990 and 1995 the precrop effects of six grass species (one or two seed cropping years) were studied for their influence on the yielding of various successors. A highly differentiated water supply in spring 1993 and 1994 enabled an exact assessment of the precrop effects by the grasses, mainly for succeeding wheat.
