Mulch sowing in organic agriculture
Problem: 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. Specifically, ploughing destroys the soil aggregate and capillary structure, increases the mineralisation of soil organic matter and causes soil compaction ...
