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 of 25 cm with row cleaning improves weed control without reducing yields.
Description
Cover crops help to suppress weeds: 1) Well-developed cover crops, with good height and leaf density, can reduce the amount of weeds. 2) Cover crops prevent nutrient leaching and move nitrogen up into the upper soil layers. This makes nitrogen is less available to thistles and more available available to the crop in the following growing season.
