Evaluation of chemical composition of lentil seeds in sole crop and row intercropped with naked oats in an organic farm

Abstrakt

The field experiment was conducted to evaluate how row intercropping of the lentil with naked oats as a supporting plant impacts macro- and micronutrient content of two lentil varieties ‘Tina’ and ‘Anita’ as well as a mixture of these two varieties. Additionally, amino acid content and fatty acid composition of lentil seeds were determined. Lentil was sown at a row spacing of 20 and 25 cm. In var. ‘Tina’ seeds, a higher content of K, Ca, Mg, Mn and B was determined than in var. ‘Anita’. ‘Anita’ seeds, in turn, were characterized by a higher content of fat, N, P, Cu, Zn and Fe. Lentil seeds sown at a spacing of 20 cm had a higher content of P, K, Ca, Cu, Zn and B compared to a spacing of 25 cm, but they contained less nitrogen. The presence of oats as a supporting crop deteriorated the quality of lentil seeds by contributing to a reduced content of N, P, K, Cu, Zn, Mn, Fe and B compared to sole cropped lentil. A higher content of C18:0, C18:2, C18:3, C20:0, OMEGA 3, and OMEGA 6 acids was determined in ‘Anita’ seeds. Var. ‘Tina’, in turn, contained more C16:0, C18:1 acids. In ‘Anita’ seeds, the content of most evaluated amino acids was determined to be significantly higher than in ‘Tina’ seeds.
