Intensively managed organic greenhouses are challenged with balancing crop rotation, attracting beneficial insects and balancing water and nutrient cycles, while decreasing the pressure from pest arthropods, crop diseases and weeds.
Solution
Agroecological service crops are an innovative tool for provisioning ecological services in Southern European greenhouses. They can be used as a diversification strategy to contribute to soil fertility, plant nutrition and to reduce weed, pest and disease prevalence in the following crop.
Description
In the Greenresilient project, Agroecological Service Crops (ASCs) were introduced and tested in organic greenhouse production systems. ASCs can be used as a diversification strategy to contribute to soil fertility, plant nutrition and to reduce weed, pest and disease prevalence in the following crop. This leaflet explains why and how ASCs can be an innovative tool for provisioning ecological services in Southern European greenhouses.
