Effect of intercropping superior grapevines with some legumes on nutritional status, yield and bunch characteristics [electronic resource].

Includes reference.

The effect of intercropping Superior grapevines with three intercrops namely, clover, fenugreek and bean under different levels of N (40 , 60, 80 and 100 gl vine) on leaf area, N, P, and K content, yield as well as physical and chemical characters of the berries was investigated during three seasons (2005, 2006 and 2007) in Assiut governorate. . Results showed that intercropping the vines with clover, fenugreek and bean, was favorable in a descending order and enhancing leaf area, percentages of N, P and K, berry set, yield as well as physical and chemical characters of the berries. Intercropping governed effectively the optimum level of N required for obtaining an economical yield. The best results with regard to yield and quality of Superior grapes were obtained when the vines were intercropped with clover and fertilized annually with N at 60 glvine
