Inserting red clover stands into different cover crops

Experiments were established at the Research Station of the Faculty of Agro nomy in Cerveny Ujezd in 1992-1997. Yield ability of cover crop, portion of individual parts in the total yield, yields of stubble cuts and individual cuts in the second year of vegetation were observed. The cover crops SLL p ea and SLL pea with spring wheat realize condition for quality and yielding ability for establishing of red clover stands. Higher yielding ability of legumes stands in cover crops of wheat + SLL pea, SLL pea and SLL pea + fab a bean was based mainly on yield growth of first cut in the second year of vegetation for more than 1 t.ha(-1) when compared to commonly used cover cr ops (oats or barley + pea). Stands complexity in the second vegetation year are favorable prerequisites for more persisting and higher yielding red cl over stands.
