Vorfruchtwirkungen verschiedener Blattfrüchte auf Winterweizen und Einfluß von Anbaumaßnahmen

Effects of preceding "break crops" on winter wheat and influence of cultural practices
Between 1979—83 there was tested the effect of 5 "break crops" (biennial alfalfa, clover-grass, faba bean, winter-rape, silomaize) on succeeding winter wheat and the interaction with changed cultural practices such as N-fertilization and conventional or reduced primary tillage (plough ? rotary tiller).
After the break crops wheat yield decreased within a range of 4 dt/ha as follows: alfalfa → beans → rape/ clover-grass/maize. Raising N-fertilization hardly allowed to improve the value of the break crops; most likely that of maize and with rotavating. Adaption of N-dressings promised greater influence.
The manner of primary tillage exerted stronger influence on the yield than the level of N-fertilization. Concerning long-term yield the rotary tiller equaled the plough after 4 break crops; after faba bean it was superior. Increasing N-fertilization tendentially favoured the rotary tiller after bean, rape and maize. Using the rotary tiller, at beginning of growth there may be calculated on 15 % higher NO₃-values and/or higher N-mineralization or N-transformation.
Eyespot disease could not be prevented sufficiently and purposefully by an other break crop, N-fertilization or primary tillage. Recurrent rotavating suppressed weed less than ploughing.
