Özet
Intercropping, mixed cropping, and rotation are commonly applied and some of the oldest cropproduction techniques to improve soil structure and nitrogen status. While rotation takes generally two-seasonwith one triticeae and legume, inter-and mixed cropping takes place within the same season. Among manyadvantages of legume inter-and mixed cropping, the most important one is the sustainable use of soilresources and reduced input cost. Numerous studies evaluated the effect of inter -and mixed cropping onabove-ground interactions, very few investigated below-ground interactions in these systems. This study aimedto investigate common vetch (Vicia sativa) x triticale (Xtriticosecale Wittmack) root system interactions at theseedling stage under intercropping conditions. The study was conducted with a semi-hydroponic plexiglasssystem. Five different ratios were used to test species level intercommunication and competition. The resultssuggest that, while triticale significantly affected the development of common vetch roots, common vetch didnot affect triticale. Triticale with a fibrous root system was more aggressive on root growth compared tocommon vetch. It was seen that the most vigorous root system development (for both species) was at doseswith higher legume ratios. Our results highlight the importance of below-ground interactions for the selectionof best ratios to gain maximum outcome from the intercropping systems.
