Extract

1. Data from a long-term experiment providing information on the effects on barley of undersowing the crop with various common species of grasses and legumes are discussed.

2. There is no evidence that the yield of grain, yield of straw, 1000 grain weight or the nitrogen content of the grain was affected in any way by undersowing with any of these species.
