Abstract
Annual medics are more noteworthy than other annual legumes in this type of cropping system due to their specific self-regeneration resulting from the gradual softening of their hard seed coat. Seed coat hardening is the main reason for seed dormancy in leguminous plants. Hardseededness of more than 90% prevents seeds from germination at the cropping stage in cereal-legume rotation systems. In the conditions and system status that the purpose cultivation is necessary that the seed with pods can be used without such rotational system of annual medic and wheat or barley (ley-farming) or similar cases and in a condition that can or should be compulsorily placed in the soil seed with pods like the end of first year rotational system of annual medics - wheat or barley (ley-farming) should be that of wheat, seed with pods in the soil should be deferred.
