The new SolACE practice abstract explains the benefits of mulch sowing in organic agriculture and provides practical recommendations.

Practice abstract: Mulch sowing in organic agriculture

Ploughing provides many advantages, such as weed control and enhanced mineralization of nutrients, but can also cause negative effects, especially when water or nutrients are restricted. Mulch sowing is a method of reduced soil tillage, based on sowing a main crop into the crop residues of the previous crop or catch crop. The soil is loosened, but not turned, and only an upper, shallow layer is mixed thoroughly. Find out more in the new practice abstract.
