The biggest challenge to achieving higher and more stable yields in organic crop farming is linked to sufficient nitrogen supply and the control of aggressive weeds.
Solution
Increased row spacing in the main crop and early underseeding can improve cover crop growth, provide a better nitrogen response and stabilize yields over time.
Description
Row cropping in cereals with nitrogen-fixing cover crops can improve nitrogen supply in the crop rotation, while while reducing nitrogen leaching. It is important to have well-established and vigorous cover crops that can deliver both a significant amount of nitrogen to the following crops and compete against weeds.
